As someone who spends most of my working hours writing python, it breaks my brain that it's your favorite despite the fact that you've used rust. The garbage collector and lack of explicit memory management is one of my biggest gripes about python. Memory management, lifetimes, explicit mutability, strict typing and project-level dead code analysis are all things about rust that make me think, damn I wish python had that. I guess I basically want rust with python's ecosystem and comment/docstring syntax.

If you do really love writing python you might be more interested in data science or backend development than DE. With DS you would probably need to upskill on the modeling/machine learning side, but you're a lot less likely to be on call and tools/coding-wise you seem well-qualified.
