Very subjective. I find Python much less productive than Rust. Easy to learn != productive in the long run.

- dman 6y agoFor things like string processing with messy data or data analysis with data I am seeing for the first time - I do find Python much faster than compiled languages - the interpreter really helps in poking at the data.

There are REPL / notebooks for quick iteration just like in Python, but static typing helps tremendously with getting things right the first time and accelerates coding. Features like autocomplete, error highlighting, documentation work much more reliably.
