I program in Python at my job and Rust in a hobby project. It surprised me how easy and productive actually Rust is, and I was really very sceptical initially.

I program in Python at my job and Rust in a hobby project. It surprised me how easy and productive actually Rust is, and I was really very sceptical initially. I know it is very subjective, and possibly a result of my longer exposure to statically typed languages, but simply Rust felt quite natural to me, while Python still feels very quirky, irregular and sometimes outright annoying, despite me spending more time with Python than Rust.
