Many of these are false? * Rust is vastly easier to get started with as a new programmer than C or C++. The quality and availability of documentation, tutorials, tooling, ease of installation, ease of dependency management, ease of writing tests, etc. Learning C basically requires learning make / cmake / meson on top of the language, and maybe Valgrind and the various sanitizers too. C's "simplicity" is not always helpful to someone getting started. * The Rust compiler isn't particularly slow. LLVM is slow. Monomorphization hurts the language, but any other language that made the same tradeoff would see the same problems. The compiler has also gotten much much faster in the last few years and switching linkers or compiler backends makes a huge difference. * Orgs that have studied tracked this don't find Rust to be less productive. Within a couple of months programmers tend to be just as if not more productive than they were previously with other languages. The ramp-up is probably slower than, say, Go, but it's not Scala / Haskell. And again, the tooling & built in test framework really helps with productivity. * Rust applications are very rarely slower than comparable C applications * Rust applications do tend to be larger than comparable C applications, but largely because of static vs. dynamic linking and larger debuginfo.
