I don't believe that for a second. Even just going from Python to Go drops my productivity by maybe about 50%. Rust? Forget it.

Sure, if you have a project that demands correctness and high performance that requires tricky concurrency to achieve, something like Rust may make sense. Not for your run-of-the-mill programs though.
