Much preferred over pianos which are making unwanted sounds, unexpected sounds, loud crashing sounds, sounds initiated by sheet music which exploits a flaw in the piano's construction, and can therefore not be depended upon to sound appropriately during important events like concerts.

That said, I'm all the time noodling new small programs in Rust. Cargo and crates.io makes this far simpler than with C/C++ where I have to write some code in another language entirely like [C]Make to get the thing to build. And I find that the borrow checker and rustc's helpful errors create a sort of ladder where all I have to do to get a working program is fix the errors the compiler identifies. And it often tells he how. Once the errors are fixed one by one, which is easy enough, and the software builds, my experience is that I get the expected program behavior about 95% of the time. I cannot say the same for other languages.
