I don’t think it’s just 6 hours. Rust requires more up-front design both during initial development and when doing maintenance compared to Python. One has to specify things in much more detail when writing Rust and sometimes that’s great, but other times it doesn’t really matter much. Many times one doesn’t really care about the overhead of GC or that values a copied a lot.
I’ve always written default-efficient code myself (mostly in C++) and using Python exclusively and over a longer time period for data wrangling was an educational experience. It feels quite liberating to just write code without having to think at every point about efficiency and memory.
