Bad person to ask. I am personally terribly unproductive with Python. I might be able to hammer out a 50 line script that does some data shuffling faster than I could write an equivalent Rust program, but anything more than that---especially when it comes to maintaining it---and Rust easily wins for me in terms of productivity. Nothing against Python specifically. I've just tried and failed over and over again to build large programs in untyped languages. I like my types and think they are invaluable, especially when it comes to refactoring.
