I don't know. After writing rust for a while, and slowly putting programs together, I tried Go and I feel so relived I can just write what I want in 10 seconds instead of messing with lifetimes, borrow checker and other stuff I actually don't care about at all.

A more experienced colleague said that yes that is true, but Go can't guarantee your code is correct, so you will spend time fixing your code also in Go. Probably true.
