I don't know how close you could get in rust to the kind of productivity lisp development has. You would need the ability to keep your program running while inside a debugger while you were able to patch memory on the fly (not just replace instructions in a function body - which I reckon I could figure out with the help of that hot reloading in rust link I shared) but replace function signatures at debug-runtime and be able to serialise the image state to disk and arbitrarily resume it later... It just feels like square peg round hole. Rust has a different development experience than lisp. It doesn't lend itself to stuff like structural editing (which is really fun to watch an experienced dev doing - Emacs lisp videos on yt are a good source for some mind bending productivity)
