At work, we make high performant drone control systems in Rust. But for testing and debugging, we simply use Matplotlib (a Python library) to make plots of simulations, etc. So we prefer Rust for the control systems themselves for the speed and reliability, but for plotting results of simulations, we don't care much about performance and rather just use something with all the features we need.

My grandpa used to make drone control systems with operation amplifiers (in the 1980s). I have a picture of him with a big plotter on a stand in a field flying a drone.
May I ask where you work?
