      As someone who has used Python and Rust professionally, I’d say Python, while memory-safe, lacks proper type-checking. I don’t know if there are alternatives, but Pylance is straight up trash. Also Python’s performance doesn’t even compare to Rust. It’s a great scripting/programming language, but I think it’s use cases are vastly different.

      I’d say whether Python counts depends a lot on what you want to do. I have a very strong opinion on using Python for complex projects. When it comes to performance, it’s suitable as nothing more than glue-code.
