By what measure of "productive"? If you mean developer productivity Rust is, by the admission of its own community, the slowest development environment. Rust is great where memory safety is paramount but it doesn't compete in the same playing field as Rails for CRUD apps.
- norman784 4y agoI would say that with Rust you can be "more" productive by deploying apps that requires less maintenance as for example Ruby or JS app, also a pain with JS/Ruby is updating dependencies, that's a very scary thing to do if you are far behind, while with Rust you can update and instantly see where your code broke. But I do agree that with Rails you can have quickly a more functional app, but that will be sooner or later not true anymore.
