It's almost like Chuck Moore coming on HN and saying he finds Forth to be the most productive language. Of course it is, for you. (Nothing against the productivity of Forth or Rust.)
Rust is quite amazing, though. Very slick, to the point where I use it and I don't care that much about things running fast or with low memory requirements, I just want something with the syntax and comprehensibility of python/ruby/etc (at least compared to erlang/elixir, which I'd otherwise use -- not having local mutable variables makes things a bit more puzzling for no reason like three times a day) and the sweet tools from haskell, and Rust fits the bill.
The compiler will catch many errors that other languages consider logic errors; if your source code compiles, it tends to run as expected.
As for the disclosure: I'm a normal software programmer, and haven't written a single line of code for rust's compiler and tooling.
