> you can write memory bugs in Rust, by design

Unless you're talking about unsafe rust, that's wrong. And if you ARE talking about unsafe rust, well you can do the same in Python.

I do agree that python and rust are both "memory-safe" languages. I'm not sure about the other kind of safety rust provides though: thread-safety. That's really where Rust shines: you can write concurrent program and be statically guaranteed to have no data-races. I'm not sure how this transposes in python.
