I primarily use Rust at my job (and love it) but I still write most of my scripts, benchmarking code etc in Python. Python is a great scripting language and a great language to wrap other stuff. I have other projects in Python that wrap many packages, some in C++/Rust and working on Python is a lot more fun than most of these languages. When I'm writing this sort of code, I don't have to `.into()`, derive send/sync/debug/whatever, I don't have to `.clone()` my strings when I pass them to multiple places that accept `String`, I don't have to do oh so many things that make my production/critical code better but I care about very little when I'm writing scripts. I'm much more effective in my 80:20 in Python than in rust though admittedly I'm still on Poetry since uv is releasing vey quickly and my things work "well enough". (In package management land - I still think most ecosystems haven't caught up to JavaScript + Rust and Python's module systems have weirdness (mod.rs/__init__.py which is unnecessary) but Cargo _is_ overall really nice).
