One typed, one untyped. One compiled one interpreted. One garbage collected one not. One fast to prototype one fast to execute. One suited for ML, one suites for WASM.
Go seems nice too but felt very middle of the road (which is fine) rather than directly complementary to either.
Perhaps the one place where Go has a slight edge on Rust is portability. Go binaries (especially those compiled without cgo) are even easier to distribute- you don't need to worry about openssl, for example. And let us not speak of distributing python here...
On the other hand, if your application does not need Python's extensive ecosystem or Rust's comprehensive typing system, Go is a highly productive language that gets out of the way and lets you get stuff done.
