I believe that the borrow checker is amazing, some other things are nice - but as though it's all kind of an experiment. I'm extremely wary of issues of productivity in Rust - most code does not need to be that perfect and the tradeoff is not rational in so many cases. Rust is the 'C++' of it's era of languages - bizarre, unwieldy. It's an experiment. We are waiting for the 'James Gosling of Rust' to come along, and blow a ton of unnecessary complexity away with the 'Java' iteration of Rust. Then it will be mainstream and uncool :)
