But you do pay up front! That's a big deal if your design is not set in stone (which is not a synonym for "prototyping").

I also think this is not a simple question; Rust’s rules provide critical feedback during that early phase. It’s valuable when getting started too. The prototype phase may last slightly longer, but I end up much closer to the final design with its help.

(Again, as always, YMMV.)
