I think Rust has an advantage over Go in the name Mozilla alone, they
are more idealistic than Google.
Agreed. In concrete terms, Mozilla is a non-profit, whereas Google is
not. Google can easily drop (or reduce) support for Go if it doesn't
serve whatever business goal they want. Or alternatively they might not
be interested in evolving Go (or Go's toolchain) in directions that are
useful for other people, but have little value for their business or
technical goals.
Mozilla may see in their heart the will to develop a language such as
Rust in part for the benefit of the programming community in general.
Even if they don't, and they remain mainly concerned with Servo/browser
development, if Rust's core goals are of developing large-scale
programs, with strong static checking / verification (safeness), and
being able to write highly optimized/fast programs - then that is
already a project vision that can make the language highly successful.
