Yes, but Go is a higher level language than Rust. It feels unfair to compare the two. That's why I brought up C++ (as did the article).

You can bring in Ada, Delphi, D, Haskell, OCaml, C++ with modules if you prefer.
If you want languages with similar complexity to Rust, and with fast tooling approaches available to them, instead of the one single compiler.
I disagree that it’s unfair to compare the two. The performance difference between go and rust is far less than the difference between go and python, it has a garbage collector sure but it’s an example of a language designed for fast compilation time that achieves an order of magnitude faster compile times than rust
I think you're missing the point of my comparison. Rust has a lot more going on than Go, so it feels unfair.
Go has a lot less going on than Rust partially because compile times were a priority.
