heh, they better hurry :-D
but seriously, I hope this cures some of the oft-reported perf woes with go-ipfs

Do i think Rust could have a better, more generic library with code that is far more concise than Go? Yes.. but that's not likely the cause for ipfs-go's issues.
I can definitely see a chance for a rewrite producing better code though. As much as i'd love to give Rust that victory, i just can't imagine Rust is _that_ big of contributor in this specific case.
We are going to experiment with such improvements, and try to work with protocol labs to standardise them if/when we come up with a good solution.
Our initial research indicates the thing that needs the most attention isn't the DHT (a commonly-cited source of slowness), but the data transfer protocol: bitswap. We plan to tackle that in the coming months.
