No. Rust forces you to spend endless hours doing mental gymnastics which shouldn't be needed in the first place (linked data-structures, owned arenas, or even just boxed slices are impossible in safe rust).

And you just keep refactoring/improving/desperately trying different ideas, because it never feels right.

It's ok if you don't agree but pls don't try to make my responses look like I like Rust, I don't and I'd happily get those years back if it was possible.
