I do not write Rust. My day-to-day job is C++'s application support and, frankly, what Rust offers does not help there.

When I do programming for fun, I prefer to use Haskell into which "Rust" can be embedded to, if I need that. But, the problems I am interested to look deep into do not benefit from borrow checker's checks. Sparse non-negative matrix language modeling is not a thing Rust can help with. ;)

(any continuous problems like ML do not benefit from borrow checker)

And I do not use emacs. I use vim. As an EDITOR for midnight commander. I go to ghci when I need feedback, not earlier. ;)
