No, not me, because I’m less productive in Python than in Rust, assuming the same level of final product quality, even excluding runtime performance.

Performance is not the primary reason to use Rust. It has way more to offer than performance.

I've been doing mostly Scala (and some Haskell) for the last 10 years, and now I'm really enjoying Rust precisely because of its language features. Performance is just a (really) nice bonus. Other bonuses include simple deployments (single binaries versus massive JVM and fat jars), low memory footprint, simple builds that just work (Cargo is an absolute joy), great concurrency, great ecosystem, etc. etc.
