As a counterpoint - I'm generally more likely to avoid tools built in Rust or Go. Because I don't have their toolchains installed at all times. With tools written in C - I can often just clone repo and build it with one-two commands without clobbering my dotfiles or downloading big toolchains, that otherwise useless for me.

I agree with you on Python, but I also want to add Javascript. Just remembering trying to install something from npm sends shivers down my spine. Never again.
