Interesting -- I usually wish people would RiiR because of running into segfaults that I presume would be impossible in (safe) rust, or because installing the (mostly) static binaries is often much easier than wrangling (non-wheel) Python dependencies.
I have found disappointing performance gains rewriting my small Python projects in Rust as most time is spent in IO and many / most CPU-intensive tasks in Python are done in C or C extensions that release the GIL and seem just as fast as Rust would be.
No doubt the improved responsiveness / startup time for rust CLI apps is much appreciated, and it is trivial to intentionally write a very poorly performing CPU-intensive task in Python.
