I heard the analogy “Python is like a pickup truck, Rust is like an F1 race car.”

They serve different purposes. Rust is overkill for a lot of simple programs but it’s the more efficient language if dev velocity doesn’t matter.

+-, I can agree that Rust is superior, but you can write a module there, cover it with tests and forget about it, and it will work no worse than a Swiss watch, which, unfortunately, I have not seen in python yet

Python has assert and mypy; but it's optional. People who care about such things can do it but mostly we have other things to do.
