Rust isn't exactly the normal style either unless you were used to some subset of modern c++ that probably only gets used in gaming or embedded.
While I wouldn't normally argue for rigor or anything tedious, creating computationally expensive abstraction layers to let you develop capabilities faster without having to worry about defects or edge cases seems the opposite of what rust is designed for. I think the language will fight you the whole way. The only aid I can think of is that you can wildly unwrap stuff everywhere not worrying about panics. Which does save some time.

But, as I understand it, it works with 'normal Rust', which, if you enjoy Rust, would be normal right? It seems to compile the rust to wasm, run it in wasm, log the results while keeping pace of how far it came, and then rerun it with previous results. That's not quite nice to have, but, like you say I think, it has foot guns, and, one of the worst, is getting too comfortable thinking it has your back while this is not enough; side effects behind immutable variables are there and while this helps you a bit, it doesn't fix any of that and maybe makes it worse.
I am just a little annoyed this is not the norm but rather something special (and closed source?), why is it not everywhere? Probably because high amounts of magic?
