I'm certainly guilty of thinking that. I don't think I've actually been pushing the "rewrite all the things in Go" thing though.

I'm also guilty of thinking language X is the next big thing, and that I should use it for everything. And that's happened more than a few times: Smalltalk, Eiffel, Python, Haskell, Lua, Go.

So having said all that, I really do think that Rust is the next awesome thing. Like the others on the above list, Rust has certainly stretched my brain with new and better programming concepts. And I think it offers some solid benefits that few other programming languages are providing right now. Its also interesting to start to see other languages like Swift incorporate concepts from Rust.
