OK, I will bite. If I had to come up with a case where Python is better than Rust, I would say with rapid prototyping and scientific computing. If you just want to try a few things out, python has faster development cycle and if you want to

I am only half trolling. In your "nothing good will come out of it" you seem to imply that "good" means "good for society" or something like that. A lot of people in the world understand "good" as &qu

Myers-Briggs is just about as unscientific as it gets. Neither Myers nor Myers-Briggs (her daughter) had any formal education in psychology or any serious experience. Their personality types are based on Jung's ideas that are over a 10
