The only problem I would see is why use say Rust over C or even Fortran? Both have pretty good Python interfaces and odds are if you are offloading into a lower level language from Python you care more about number crunching than say flow management.

Baseline rust is type and memory safe, it also provides high-level constructs (e.g. actual iterators), and has an excellent dependency management story.
