As the one person in the world who is perhaps most up-to-date on what the "Rust crew" is doing in the community at-large, I can definitively state that this characterization is untrue, though I'm dismayed that you have somehow gotten that impression. All of the people that I've seen who bash Go while praising Rust are completely random internet commentators with no connection to the Rust community. If you can find me examples of Rust community members aggressively attacking Go, I will gladly ban those users from both the Rust subreddit and the official Rust IRC channel.
