This is based on the assumption that Rust will make you move more slowly — anecdotally, it does at times — and that this is a constant slow down.
I disagree with that premise. Rust is imperfect, and can seem obtuse when you begin using it. But the payoff is moving faster. It compiles, it works; modulo logic bugs. Less painful refactoring, less time spent chasing memory leaks, none of the bullshit memory bugs, no data races.
This isn't trivial stuff, and pays off day to day.
I also have to object to any argument that says something will be 'automagically' fixed in the future. It's a weak position based on something that _might_ happen.
