Coming from someone who is completely smitten with Rust, there are [edit: a few exceptional] "systems programming language" scenarios where Go is a much stronger candidate. e.g. minikube, lima, and $your_local_tool are probably better done with Go: the entire language is built around doing "shellscripty" things.

The concepts in Rust are a loose/spiritual superset of C; you'd be able to pick up C easily after learning Rust.

Also, I learned Rust with the linked series. It's extremely well though out and guides you into the mental model of "rustisms."
