Or work on getting what Rust gives you in a different language that isn't Rust (maybe entirely new, maybe not[1]).

One underdiscussed thing about Rust is that it's so clearly a byproduct of the C++ world. And the most disappointing thing about Rust is that it probably won't ever be seen as a prototype that should be thrown away.
