Although arguably a more 'difficult' language I sleep much better at night when using Rust, because Python is always in a hurry to get a wrong program running. So then, one has to test like hell. So I feel I'm still ahead of the game.

It’s horses for courses. I’d never use Python for the kind of thing that rust is for. At the same time, I’ve never had occasion to use rust for the stuff I do.

EDIT - just want to add: I'm not au fait with the specifics of Rust but I presume from what I've heard about it that it also supports my position, as an advanced language, that the features you need are in the language so a heavy-weight IDE isn't so necessary.
