What? You can easily escape from it if there are better alternatives you can use. Pointing at one language and saying it is not easy to code like it is another language is a pointless argument. You can do that about any two languages. They all differ for good reasons and as long as you can solve similar problems in both, even if in different ways then what does it matter that you cannot do it in the same way?

So there is no general escape hatch.

Pointing at one language and saying it is not easy to code like it is another language is a pointless argument.

I'm not arguing that it is easier to code in C# than in Rust, just that this particular escape hatch is possible in C# and not in Rust. It's just an observation.

It does not really matter, but does it have to?
