You can still write hacky temp code in Rust, although it does take some experience to get familiar with the ways you can do this without hitting borrow checker errors and etc (well, short of reaching for unsafe, which is generally not a good way to do this).

That said, for getting code written fast, Rust for me has been better than C++ for a while now, even though for most of that I was better at C++ than Rust. The reason for this was largely Cargo, which eliminates the pain points of dependency and build management that plague C++.
