I know where you're at because I used to feel the same way. But what if rust was designed to make manual memory management as painless as possible? IE, it's the antithesis of a language like C because when you learn it's syntax all practical memory management is done by basically writing OCAML.

In rust there are two forms of memory management, 1. You write rust. 2. You write unsafe rust.

You never really have to refactor to suite a different style. Infact changing allocators is as simple as running "cargo install".

Rust isn't as bad as people make it out to be but you do have to invest some time to learning it.

But as far as throw one away goes... You can write it in rust, and then slightly adjust when you do things like clone so nothing gets thrown away unless you really botched it the first time you wrote it.
