I personally really like using Rust, but I don't think it's necessarily better than go. There are some areas where Rust will definitely be better or more ergonomic, such as bare-metal or low level systems programming tasks, but many other areas where Go's design works better and Rust will only hold you back (looking at you, borrow checker).

That said, I would still recommend learning Rust, because it will teach you about lifetimes and aliasing, even if you don't want to learn about them. When building for the web, I think Go's easier dynamic dispatch and GC will save you some headaches though.
