> fearless refactoring really is something that compiled langs excel at

Would you say that's a feature of compilation? I'd have said it's Rust's strong and static type system that makes refactoring 'fearless' and generally aids productivity and maintainability.

Python ≥3.6 with liberal type hinting is a more interesting comparison in my view.
