I’ve heard of Rust. It sounds noisy and even more verbose than Go, which is already a fairly verbose language. I haven’t had any reason to learn Rust, so I haven’t done so. The error handling is annoying but at this point I don’t really notice it any more. And as interolivary said, Go has generics now.
Yeah this was my initial reaction way back when I first heard of Rust as well (sometime around 2015 or so I think). TBF it’s definitely not on the same level as e.g. Haskell. But it’s generally I would say less verbose than go (or at least has verboseness where it makes sense compared to go IMHO).
The generic system is also (way) less powerful compared to Rusts (The trait type system/type-classes is really a nice Haskell-inspired thing, that I don’t want to miss anymore). Also the lack of sum types and proper pattern matching makes go more verbose IMHO.

A good article about this: https://matklad.github.io/2023/01/26/rusts-ugly-syntax.html
