If you're scaling horizontally it's doubtful that language choice of rust Vs Go is going to make a difference.

Not enough, anyway, to make a complete rewrite more profitable over adding features.

After all, it's not as easy if influx was plagued by concurrency bugs, was it?

A move to a safer language than go just doesn't seem worth it, and there's little to no performance gain when you can just throw more hardware for that tiny performance difference.
