I disagree, because Rust compile time checks are not prohibitive. I agree on all other points: you shouldn't try to write perfect software first time, mental overhead is a serious concern, battling type system is bad (but you don't do that in Rust). Overall, Rust is a productive language, especially compared to C++.
