100% this. Well put. The Rust codebase I’ve built on run faster, don’t crash, are more correct, and take only marginally longer than the first python version.

100% this. Well put. The Rust codebase I’ve built on run faster, don’t crash, are more correct, and take only marginally longer than the first python version. They’re easier to maintain, they’re easier to upgrade their dependencies, I’m more confident about asserting guarantees from the codebase, and it’s an easier time onboarding people and having them meaningfully contribute. There’s no more death-by-a-thousand-cuts that I experienced with Python codebases. I don’t have to worry about my Rust codebases blowing up at 2am because of some random exception. I am defs not going back.
