And it's super great when your C extension has a memory leak and you can't figure out where in Python you are creating circular references... happened to me once. Two days of my life... But yes as long as you write good C, it's a pretty awesome pattern.

  You can have memory leaks in Rust as well. Especially if you are interfacing with a program that expects a C interface (i.e. CPython).
