That may be true in data science, but the tradeoffs are not necessarily the same in other fields. I do not see Python fading away in mine, for instance. If anything, it looks more and more encroached, and even if the Python code becomes legacy code, interfaces will have to be maintained. I still use TCL quite often in design automation. Python is and will still be used to script Blender, Kodi, Inkscape, Klayout, sigrok, and countless others, for instance. But your week-end project you need to write a bit of code for and want to practice a new language with/just want to code as quick as possible? Sure, the languages will come and go. Likewise with Rust. Maybe not for iterative design phases, but I can certainly see it being used in production, especially if robustness/speed are needed.
