There are several Go for Python programmers tutorials. A google search would throw up many. And it makes sense, because Go is, in my opinion, a good alternative to python as a scripting language. It is faster and safer although slightly more verbose.

There are some Rust for python guides as well, but I think it is the wrong approach in case of Rust. Rust is really a more systems programming language. It makes sense to either learn it from scratch, or learn from a C++ background. Even coming from a Java background, I found it easier to just forget about my knowledge of Java and start looking at Rust as something completely fresh. In case of Go, I was easily able to map it to the python and Java concepts I already knew. I think Go has a nice niche where it can replace both Java and python, but not C++. Rust can replace C++, but not Java or python.
