In my experience, once you know the problem really well, yes you're right.

If you are building a complex prototype from scratch, you'll usually spend more time fighting the Rust compiler than trying out alternate design decisions.

I do know the problem domain well. My second iteration in rust already almost has an order book implemented.

Writing code in rust however is very fun! (At least so far lol)

Better than C++? Have you experienced any problems in Rust that C++ instantly solved? Not because I'm pro/anti rust/C++ here, just curious.

Writing Rust is fun in the sense that solving a puzzle is fun.

Great when that's what you set out to do (rewrite it in Rust^TM) can get annoying otherwise (solving/researching a problem).
