This is my biggest gripe with Rust. I want to write code that produces the right result first and make it safe later.

We already have too much code that "can be made safe later", but never is.

If you're interested in continuing with Rust, I'd suggest that you think about making code that produces the right result first and make it fast later: use `clone` everywhere you run into borrowing problems, use `Rc` or `Arc` instead of references everywhere you run into ownership problems, make the single threaded version work before adding concurrency, etc.
