> choosing Rust for your next project will destroy the productivity of your team.

So would be Python, JavaScript, Go or any new language you pick for your future project ! Of course you won't immediately be as productive with a language you just learned that you were with a language you've been using for 5 years. But once you have a good grasp on the standard library, how to idiomatically structure your code and the tooling in general you can be pretty productive with rust nowadays.

Of course the ecosystem isn't mature in every fields, so you need to check if there are existing libraries / framework for what your trying to do, but that's what you should do in any language anyway : I don't think I would recommend NodeJS for developing cross-platform Qt GUI …

In my experience, writing CLI tools with Rust is really cool !
