I also find that Rust drives me to document more - because when I do something "intuitively" that doesn't work and then spend an hour refactoring until it does work I usually leave a comment about it.

And those are almost always the good "in depth" reasoning comments you want in software, not the mandatory "Function save saves the file to where parameter location is" which just repeats the definition.

I still love Python, but I can't even argue its a productivity win for me to use over Rust anymore, because while I might sometimes make something that seems to work faster the lack of confidence makes scaling the program much harder and there really is nothing syntactically in Rust besides the static typing (which is a good thing in my book anyway, its why Python added function signature type hints after all) and verbosity (semicolons, mandatory braces, etc) that prevents you from writing code as fast as a Python variant with the right library support.

"with the right library support"

Well that's the thing it's all about libraries, and now in Rust it's nowhere compare to Python for the web dev.
