I&#x27;ve found it very fruitful. I had previously spent a couple of months hacking away at a project in C++ which needed lots of fine-grained parallelism and custom data structures (metagenomics analysis tool). When we decided to shift our approach and that we wouldn&#x27;t be saving any code, I started out trying Rust and fell in love. Many of the issues I faced in trying to quickly put together an application in C++ were just non-issues as a result of Rust&#x27;s type system.
