        Yeah. The verdict is still out on whether having a deeply surly compiler will help me focus on iterating and understanding the client’s needs.

        I run Python CICD controls on main with at least the same level of prissiness (as Rust comes with), but at least Python knows how to shut up and let me prototype.

        I’m currently not convinced that Rust’s opinionated design hits a useable long term sweet spot.

        But I think if Rust adds a debug flag --fuck-off-i-need-to-try-something, it could genuinely become the next Python, and the world would be better for it.

        Edit: And if I just missed the --fuck-off-i-need-to-try-something Rust flag, someone point me at it, and I’ll gladly give Rust another run.

          Once you get the hang of rust you don’t ever need to ask it to do unsafe things. It’s not really any faster to do things unsafe
