Indeed, there's almost always a solution to "inergonomics" in Rust, but most are there to provide a guarantee or express an assumption to increase the chance that your code will do what's intended. While that safety can feel a bit exaggerated even for some large systems projects, for a lot of things Rust is just not the right tool if you don't need the guarantees.

On that topic, I've looked some at building games in Rust but I'm thinking it mostly looks like you're creating problems for yourself? Using it for implementing performant backend algorithms and containerised logic could be nice though.
