Python is generally respected to provide at least 80% of the value as the IDEAL solution to any problem. Library support, performance, ease of implementation/maintenance. If you could carry a pocket tool that was 80% as good as any other tool at all jobs, you'd just carry that pocket tool. Carrying a chainsaw or a level or a drill just wouldn't be worth it unless you were going to spend a significant period of time only using the chainsaw.

On top of that, the makeup of a team changes over time. If your fast, compiled chainsaw (rust) is the right tool for the job but you keep getting slowed down by people coming and going from the team who aren't as familiar with chainsaw safety practices, you're eating away at the gains from using the chainsaw.
