... Would it help you to know that I don't even use Rust (although I'm interested in picking it up), and in fact have complained on HN before about program performance and other features being invalidly attributed to "it's written in Rust"? Especially in the Python ecosystem, that being my primary programming language?
I'm not making anything like the argument you seem to think I am. I'm only making a pragmatic observation about what real-world coding is like, based on my own experience.
You should try picking up Rust, and then, based on your Python experience, see how quickly you run into one of those cases that GP is talking about. It's unlikely to take long.
