To each their own. Some people (not me) say that Rust's pedantic compiler feels like bureaucratized waste of time akin passing through medieval Turkish customs. For me personally, working with Clojure dialects feels extremely productive. Even writing in Fennel, which is not Clojure, but syntactically somewhat similar is much faster for me than dealing with Lua. Even when I have to write stuff in other PLs, I sometimes first build a prototype in Clojure and then rewrite it. Although it sounds like spending twice the effort, it really helps me not to waste time.
