Typescript has escape hatches so you can just say "I don't care, or don't know."
With Rust, you're battling a compiler that has a very restrictive model, that you can't shut up. You will end up performing major refactors to implement what seem like trivial additions.

- ok123456 1y agoIt's not the same because putting it in a box semantically changes the program, adds a level of indirection. It's not just telling it to go away.
- ameliaquining 1y agoThere's no avoiding that in a language that's designed to offer low-level control of runtime behavior, regardless of whether it's memory-safe or not. You have to tell the compiler something about how you want the data to be laid out in memory; otherwise it wouldn't know what code to generate. If you don't want to do that, use an interpreted language that doesn't expose those details.
