as my time for learning new programming languages is limited, I would invest it in learning Rust, rather than learning Golang or learning both of them.
IMO the only reason to learn Golang is if your already have a legacy Golang codebase or if you want to contribute to various open source projects written in Go, like for example Kubernetes (my first experience with Golang was trying to compile a patched Hashicorp project).
It's the same as suggesting to a front-end dev, skipping Backbone, Ember and Angular and going straight for React.
There are lots of overlapping technologies in our space and learning all of them is a huge time waste.
