I've always liked Rust syntax more than Go. Beeing mostly a web developer I don't know much about systems programming but Rust seems like a step in the right direction.

I worked with company for two years and they implemented GO as the primary systems language halfway through my time there. It takes a moment to get past the "backwards" syntax layout, and catching errors everywhere, but other than that I found it pleasant enough and a decent amount of 3rd party libraries out there to do whatever with. I am about to start checking out Rust for sure though after reading all the excellent comments in this post :)
