There was an initial hard slog around the borrow checker, but once it all clicked it's been very smooth sailing. The only thing I've had trouble with in the months since is when I went to write some macros, but that was more me not reading the docs closely enough. I'd say I am very productive in it now and I don't view any of Rust's features as being a productivity problem.
If you're struggling with Rust, I'd say keep going until you get that "click."
