Not nearly as much as chasing bugs that do not happen in Rust.

  That would depend on what you're doing, of course :)

    No not at all.

      …perhaps you lack experience of a time where fixing bugs that cannot be effectively discovered using tools available in other languages took less time than the equivalent code in Rust would take to compile?

        Yet all the tools that exist still don't prevent memory safety bugs found regularly in pretty much any C codebase. Using safe rust will be a productivity boon because of its type system, crate ecosystem and memory safety.

They can help, but I am well aware of which kinds of bugs existing C tooling cannot catch. I still take issue with your opinion, which hold through this thread, that claims that productivity gains from not having to track these down necessarily outweighs Rust's compile times.
