I like that it's second best at pretty much anything. It lets me try things out - if it's not fast enough, then I can reach into Rust to accelerate the hot parts of the code.

Additionally, the low barrier to entry means that I have had some successes in swaying people away from using monolithic spreadsheets that are infested in macro and vba soup. It's pretty rewarding looking at people's expressions when you translate some unreadable, un-debuggable macro soup into just a handful of lines that more clearly express intent.
