This is my experience (albeit at smaller scale) exactly. If this wasn't the case, Rust would be snake oil and I'd be the first to admit it. Until my most recent endeavor with a rust backend, among other things, I simply didn't know it was possible to not have to debug crashes. Seriously. The pleasure of maintaining rust software in production is so wildly different from anything I've ever experienced in the past that I gladly submit to the compiler over and over and over again. It's worth the investment 100 fold.
