Well, if you have an unexplained hatred for typing double colons five times per line of code, as I do, Go allows you to not do that.
Rust::Forces::Them<Colons>::Everywhere::AllTheTime();
Rust::Forces::Them<Colons>::Everywhere::AllTheTime();
There was an opportunity to choose something less C++-like but someone thought "I'm used to doing this because of C++, so I'll keep the double colon" and kept it around. Ok, that's fine, and I'm gonna keep talking trash about Rust, because I'm used to doing it because of C++.
