Rust code isn't more difficult to write, to type.
Code is more difficult to pass through Rust compile! Yes.
At the same time, in real place one would have code and delivery
pipeline with testing. With JavaScript we have to add more tests just to
not let code through with bugs that TypeScript compiler catches. Extra
tests need time to write and maintain, so, stricter compiler saves tons
of time overall.
When we talk about difficulty, or time effort/cost, we should take whole
of it, not just one section of the process.
TypeScript shows that types are created for human understanding, and
compiler only checks your promises to others. And "other" is you mere 15
minutes later. Types force you to formalize , and compiler checks
rigorously.
Speed of just typing/coding is same in all languages, when reasoning is
relaxed. Just ask, ... , just observe Copilot.
