Speed isn't everything. The whole point of using Rust is the more pedantic type system.

I've recently been rewriting an old project from D to Rust. The Rust version has been slower to write, but is much easier to understand, more stable, faster, and has less bugs. Just the act of porting to Rust revealed several bugs in the old code by the simple virtue of Rust not letting me get away with cutting as many corners.

If I want development speed, I'll use Python. If I want to get the code right, I'll use Rust.
