What the point, though? You will get compiling code, but later you would need to reachitecture code to avoid violating rust rules.

Sometimes, you just need to know if an idea will even work or what it would look like. If you have to refactor half the codebase (true story for me once), it makes the change a much harder sell without showing some benefits. IE, it keeps you from discovering better optimizations because you have to pay the costs upfront.
