I am a long time Pythonist and I started with Rust a year ago. Rust has become my goto language now. I mostly use python with the interpreter nowadays (as a enhanced calculator) or for scripting.

Rust has such a great tooling. In Python starting new projects, remembering whether to use pipenv pyenv, pew, pip virtualenv, which file was supposed to mean what feels much much more convoluted. In rust this is a two word shell command.

The compiler will fuck with you more than you would like, but if you don't fight it, but try to figure out why it is right, you will find that most compile errors are totally for a reason. I had FAR less runtime errors with rust. If the code compiles it is either code with a logic error or it just works as intended.

And it is performant as hell.
