I've written a few things at work in C/C++ and Rust. I can move much faster in Rust, personally, as long as the pieces of the ecosystem I need are there. Obviously I only speak for myself.
Part of that is because I'm working in code where security is constantly paramount, and trying to reason about a C or C++ codebase is incredibly difficult. Maybe I get lucky and things are using some kind of smart ptr, RAII and/or proper move semantics, but if they're not then I have to think about the entire call chain. In rust I can focus very locally on the logic and not have to try and keep the full codebase in my head
