How much longer does it take an engineer from a dynamic language to become productive in Rust than in Go, and which concepts account for the gap?
Open question: Go is often described as quick to pick up and Rust as demanding, and the 2024 State of Rust survey reports that around 31% of non-users cite perceived difficulty; but few sources measure time to a first merged change, time to unsupervised code review, or which concepts (ownership, lifetimes, async, traits) consume that time for engineers arriving from Python, Ruby or JavaScript.
