I think this is a good generalization of the learning curves of the languages, but not necessarily productivity for an experienced developer. Rust has modern amenities like pattern matching, generics and a package manager.
- kragen 7y agoYou may be right; I'm still a novice at Rust. I've heard people with substantially more experience in Rust telling me they still find it slow going compared to C, but they may not be experts, and they may not be representative. And surely in domains like compilers, which benefit more from pattern matching and automated storage reclamation, Rust would have a significant edge.
