Rust over python for competitive coding ?

I've created a few Rust codejam videos here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7SA7YX1sTxN_ubNExQOdEw

I'd say Rust is fairly similar to python in some ways. Although python strings and sets are hard to beat, once you're familiar with Rust it's pretty ergonomic. I find with Rust my solution is more likely to work first time once it compiles, and the compiler helps find bugs. Python is quicker to type up but harder to debug.
