In rust, you have:
let s = S{foo: 42, ..Default::default()};
The way you do this is by having types opt in to it, since zero values only make sense in some contexts.
In go, the way to figure out if a type has a meaningful zero value is to read the docs. Every type has a zero value, but a lot of them just nil-pointer-exception or do something completely nonsensical if you try to use them.
In rust, at compiletime you can know if something implements default or not, and so you can know if there's a sensible zero value, and you can construct it.
Go doesn't give you your cake, it gives you doc comments saying "the zero value is safe to use" and "the zero value will cause unspecified behavior, please don't do it", which is clearly not _better_.
