I think that many a time people begin a project coding in a far-far-far too-low level programming-language: they're solving the wrong problem!

Build your prototype in a high level language, get the model/architecture correct .. and THEN begin replacing the slow bits with faster languages..

To me that seems right.

Haskell to begin-with, & when it solves ALL of the problem, correctly .. THEN you begin converting stuff to Crab-lang/Rust..

When you're still bashing 'round, trying to discover the form of the underlying problems in your problem .. that's the wrong time to be doing low-level stuff, to my eyes..

I get the sentiment, but I think Rust does a pretty decent job even in the prototyping phase. I'll run snippets in Python or Lua, but that's mostly for data mangling, like generating code from a data format or preparing test data.

So far it works pretty well.
