When you're just learning it Rust can definitely be a lot less productive and a lot more frustrating. But once you get to an expert level I think there's just no contest, and you can churn out code high quality code significantly faster than you can in C++. (At least that's how it is for me, and I've been programming C++ for over 10 years and I'm don't intend to ever go back.)
