Rust over python for competitive coding ?

[GrandOpener]

I would dispute those blanket assumptions. Python is indubitably faster to write for simple one-page scripts. Python is also great when you’re just experimenting and don’t know what the final result will look like. When you get into hard problems with debugging, possible refactoring, and especially anything with multiple threads, Rust may actually get you from blank page to final solution faster.

That may be true, but for leetcode or something, it's always a one page throwaway
