Lots of libraries if you want .NET, right? But if you don't, Rust has way more libraries
Speed of development is debatable. I think you can be pretty fast with both.
Easy to learn I concede but it gets easier with time, until it becomes very easy
Having written a moderately big project in OCaml which I tried porting to F# and later did port to Rust, to me Rust feels much faster to develop than either OCaml or F#, especially once you figure out the "core", adding more features is a breeze. Refactoring is also easier. Not to mention that reading Rust is much easier than reading OCaml and coming back to the project after a year feels very easy. I think that I have less bugs with Rust than with OCaml. And the end product's core ended up being ~3-4 times faster to execute in Rust.
