> I am overwhelmed by the sheer beauty and mature design of this language - it almost reads like Python Sarcasm?

  "As a Python programmer with limited experience with compiled languages" In other words, someone who doesn't have a CS background, never took theory of programming languages, etc. "Python programmer" is like the 2020's equivalent of a "HTML developer" from the 2000s.

  "... or as well as any compiled language can." Some syntax is close to Python so some mental load is minimized, i.e use of snake_case, self, None and type annotation syntax, dict unpacking. Some lines read like sentences i.e. for loops, single line if statements, impl Foo for Bar etc. Some design choices also read better I think, for example, let reads better than var. Of course such preferences are personal. I've read other comments that mention that the tutorial covers only basic Rust features and it can get much more complicated when using more advanced features. Edit: Added sentence about advanced features.
