I write a lot in Python, but I love to write small utilities in Rust as well. The tooling around command line stuff is just really good in Rust and the distribution (just a binary) is just simpler. On top of that Rust forces you to handle errors with IO, like paths correctly to a degree that gives you much more confidence in the resulting tool. Give it a try.
