im not a great programmer but having used Rust and Python/Scala/Java, i have a hard time believing anyone can be as productive in Rust as they would be in a GCed language for many/most applications. Say building a typical backend or prototyping some linear algebra/ML, the memory management is just a very low level that is likely not a concern and takes away focus from the higher level.
