Yep. Ive essentially followed that paradigm with Python and C. I start out writing Python code. If I need something to run fast, I build a standalone C application that either reads from a file or listens on a socket, and just invoke it from Python. No need to write the entire thing in Rust and deal with all its semantics when it will be at best like 2% faster.
