Anecdotes and personal opinions follow. I'm pretty happy with the speed at which I write Rust code, but I can definitely churn out Go code more quickly. (Probably on the order of how quickly I can write Python, although refactoring Go code is much faster.) I'm not sure exactly why, but my guess is that there are fewer abstractions to deal with (and fewer opportunities to make abstractions). I have written several medium Go applications (near or above 10 KLOC, which ideally, I would never hit in a dynamic language), and I'm pretty happy with how the code turned out in all but one of them. (But that one is a window manager.) I haven't yet written a similarly sized Rust application, though. I do write Rust code more quickly that I write Haskell code though. :-)
