It's not the case that we don't have work arounds, we simply don't have generally accepted and agreed-upon work arounds. You have options. For example, there's no generally accepted work around in C++ for manual memory management. You can develop your own strategy, but you may not be able to use libraries out of the box without having to create shims (or monads) but the point is: we know how to do these things. Most of the code in production has done these things and few people are interested in refactoring this huge investment to Rust.
