"as productive as Ruby or Python"

So you basically never have to worry about lifetimes or memory management or the borrow checker? Because that would be a prerequisite for it to be as productive as Python.

I'd love to see a seasoned Python developer and a seasoned Rust developer comparing the time they spend to solve e.g. Advent of Code. I bet the Python dev would solve it at least ten times faster (developer time, not execution time).
