On the contrary, about 50% of my time with Rust is spent throwing shit at the wall and seeing if it works. The great thing is that the compiler will probably tell you that what you're doing is garbage and you might want to consider redesigning, which is where the other 50% goes. If you hack works, great, just need to get it through code review, which will probably reject most other garbage. If it doesn't, back to the drawing board, and you won't have spent the time pestering someone to read your hackjob.
