Honestly, I'd say if it's simple there's not much point in learning Rust for this purpose unless performance is really critical. I'd stick to Go in this case. If you feel like unhappy with Rust then maintainability alone should be a good enough reason.
That said though I really think Rust is workable and not as hard as people think. I've come across articles before complaining that "Rust can't do this thing" and I've tried it and it works fine so I think it's come and is still coming a long way. Really my aim here is hopefully to make people realise some of the "hard" things aren't as bad as they seem, and maybe to get a few people to give it another go as I'm pretty sure it's better than it used to be a few years back.
But yeah, it's not easy, but I think it's worth it and I think it'll be a super valuable skill in time. I think it's time is yet to come I guess.
