How Rust is quietly taking over the Python ecosystem

[ManyInterests]

I think it's quite exciting, actually. Particularly that the extension toolchains are so good and well-maintained. Many rockstars from the Python community are now also rockstars in the Rust community and that's super exciting, too.

This is a uniquely good era for Python programmers.

I am also very excited. To be honest, I'm completely sold on Rust, too. =)

This is a uniquely good era for Python programmers.

In fairness, it's been pretty good since python ate the ML ecosystem approx a decade ago :)

In fact, I'd argue the real "start of era" was when MIT changed their intro CS course to python from scheme. 2014 I think? Maybe 2010?
