So much of language opinion is based on people's progression of languages. My progression (of serious professional usage) looked like this:
Java -> Python -> C++ -> Rust -> Go
I have to say, given this progression going to Rust from C++ was wonderful, and going to Go from Rust was disappointing. I run into serious language issues almost daily. The one I ran into yesterday was that defer's function arguments are evaluated immediately (even if the underlying type is a reference!).

Perhaps with a progression Java -> Go -> Rust moving to rust could feel slow and painful.
