A common theme I find in posts criticizing Rust is that their authors take a problem they've already solved in another language, try to blindly convert it in non-idiomatic Rust and then complain because things get awkward.
I think that it's important to pick the right tool for the job and to follow the patterns of the tool you're using.
Is Rust the right tool for the task described in the post? Probably not, but it could still be used albeit it will always require more work than Python.
What's really missing is a resource showing common problems and their idiomatic solutions.
