>Rust is however very much not capable of rapid iteration, the borrow checker will fight you heavily every step of the way to the point where it demands constant refactors.

If you have sufficient experience, that's not really the case. Certainly compared to "comparable" languages like C++ where that time fighting the borrow checker might instead have been spent chasing random crashes.

I have written both professionally for long enough to say that there's not real comparable advantage to either. You trade one complexity to fight for another when refactoring or iterating.
