Same here. I used to use Python for small one-off scripts, but I now primarily use Rust. I can write Rust nearly as fast as Python and Go now, plus there are a lot of useful crates for the type of command-line utilities that I write. For me the benefit is that a Rust utility usually works when it compiles, plus I can easily deploy the binaries on other machines (without going through another pyenv/pip dance). To give an example: I work a lot with dependency treebanks on CoNLL-X format. Over my past to years with Rust, I have accumulated a bunch of utilities for doing things like paritioning data, merging treebanks, shuffling treebanks, extracting forms/lemmas, checking for cycling graphs, etc. I use them nearly daily: https://github.com/danieldk/conllx-utils/tree/master/src/bin https://github.com/danieldk/conllx-utils/tree/master/src/bin
