Unless what you are doing is not fit for what guarantees Rust gives you, the compiler should just be a crutch in case you missed a step.

In fact if I could, I would like that writing in C was prohibited by law to permit holders only, the jury being rob pike and richard stallman themselves!

I think it's hard for those who carry "mindset-baggage" from C/C++. My first attempt at Rust was a failure mostly because I thought it was sort of a "weird C/C++".
