As a long time C++ developer with only a few years in Rust, C++ is downright painful in comparison. However, I still cannot iterate in Rust as quickly as I can in Lua, unless the project is large and complex, then I'd argue that I can work faster in Rust. Languages like Python, Lua, Lisp really struggle in large projects because it becomes way too easy to break things unknowingly.

I question this belief for Lisp, because for instance SBCL says quite a lot of things at compile-time. See also the new Coalton (Haskell types), handy language features and the fast debug loop.

That may be true. I was thinking more about elisp when I wrote this.
