I'm not sure if the author really meant this phrase the way it sounds, but if he did, it's a bit worrying:

> That’s one of the points of Rust. It’ll complain that our code is not production quality and that we need to do better to save on the pain down the line.

Ok, Rust will catch a lot of bugs, but assuming that a program is "production quality" once the Rust compiler doesn't complain about it anymore would be really bad - it may still be full of business logic errors...



I think that's uncharitable. The author is only addressing the inverse: code that is definitely not production quality.
