Either or both would be fine. They're both "proper" programming languages today. golang is the F-150 pickup truck of languages, while Rust is more on the V10 Lamborghini end of the spectrum. More difficult to work with, life is more exciting.

golang has essentially no nonsense in it (due to guardianship by crusty old men at Google). No async ever happening there, thankfully.

Rust, lacking a single corporate backer, has more evolutionary churn and a bit less pure focus of vision imho (concurrency implementation changed several times, it now does have async even though there's no need for it).
