I think both are true. Rust is poorly-suited to certain architectures, and empowers us to use other architectures. Rust's idioms take both its strengths and weaknesses into account.

It can make up for it in other ways, but in my experience, Rust is poorly-suited for Roguelike architecture specifically.
