My anecdotal experience is the opposite.

I write code much faster in Rust than in C++. Part of it is thanks to the type system – fewer opportunities for dev errors means that I can produce code that is more concise, spends less time handling runtime errors because I can have static guarantees that they have already been handled somewhere, etc. Part of it is #[derive(...)], great documentation, Cargo and other QoL components of Rust.

Fair enough. I can imagine if you largely write code that plays nice with the compiler it could be faster. That just hasn't been my experience.
