It seems to me that Rust is going to be completely superior to Go, and is likely to kill it.
More interesting is whether it will manage to be a complete replacement for C++, with the same performance but adding safety, which would be a VERY much needed development, since using unsafe languages needs to stop.
And also what's going to happen to the high-level space (currently led by Java/Scala and C#), and specifically whether Rust's lack of a global garbage collected heap and multiple pointer types will prove good or bad.
It's definitely one of the most promising languages in existence, along with Scala.

This is why I think the competition will be interesting; a classic C vs. C++ / Simplicity vs. Features sort of competition.
As far as Rust killing Go, Go has already released v1.0 (with v1.1 coming in the next few weeks), and is actually used in mission-critical applications. Rust? Still not much.
