Debugging and hotfixing in production is not generally a good idea. Updating a site with significant traffic will usually involve pushing some type of artifact through a build system and deploying it to multiple servers, and that’s true whether it’s a python script or rust binary. As far as an actual debugger, I believe rust generally encourages gdb. If your concern is about Rust compile times, that’s a different but valid question.
