The unfortunate reality for many Rust fans is that a lot of people would prefer to use a less complicated language when performance doesn't matter.

That Rust program you spent a day golfing to make beautiful use of iterators? Your friend wrote it in go in 15 minutes.

They also get static types, good dependency management, and singe executable deployment. Cython + mypy basically gives you that with Python.

I don’t know why this would be an unfortunate reality. People should use whatever language they want.

Rust gives you a lot of ways to express yourself, but now that I am quite familiar with it, I can write Rust just as quickly as I can write Python or Go.

You can spend all day code golfing in any language.
