That is also not shared by everyone. If you have written enough Rust to have internalized designing for the borrow checker, you don't have to spend much time in a design phase.

The only time I find I have to "fight the compiler" is when I write concurrent code, and you can sidestep a lot of issues by starting with immutable data and message passing through channels as a primitive. It's a style you have to get used to, but once you build up a mental library of patterns you can reasonably be as fast in Rust as you are in Python.
