[...] no loss of productivity when moving from Go to Rust." > "We do see some benefits [...] we see reduced memory usage in the services that we've moved from Go. [...] We see a decreased defect rate over time in those services that have been rewritten in Rust" > "Within two months about a third of the folks were feeling as productive, within four months about 50%." > "People do indeed feel as productive in Rust as they do in their original language. C++, Java, Python, Go." > "One of the biggest latencies is code review time [...] How hard is it to review code in Rust? [...] A little over half said that Rust is easier to review. The most incredible question [...] The confidence that people have in the correctness of the Rust code that they're looking at. [...] 85% of people believe that their Rust code is more likely to be correct."
