I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. Are people disagreeing that manual memory management adds overhead compared to GC'd languages for prototyping?

I'm expecting my own comment to be downvoted as well, so I'll give a huge disclaimer that I lack experience with Rust, but I always find myself playing type tetris and having to think hard about memory management whereas Clojure, JavaScript, and Python all have interactive solutions that let one quickly hack together some web server and endpoints.

"Type Tetris" is the perfect description of what I've felt with rust at times for stuff where I don't care too much about performance but don't want to wrap everything with Arc<Mutex<T>> or .clone() everything.

I don't say this from a perspective of distaste. I really like rust's ecosystem and tooling, but would really love to use `RustScript` one day which is basically Rust with a hint of Go. Green threads and all references can be treated as if they are effectively pointing into the heap.
