Yep. If you want to give someone enough rope to get maximum

doing.
I think ATS language is a contradiction here, it combines max
performance (at some point it was #1 at the PL shootout, faster
than C) with static guarantees Rust folks could only dream
about. But the price you pay is amount of intellectual efforts
(and time, a lot of time!) to write any non-trivial program.
Performance, Safety and Productivity. You can only choose two.
