> That's like saying your two choices are Python and C, Rust not being worth it.

Not a great example since that’s actually why all the other propositioned system language replacements never took off in the way rust did. Rust is (or can be, but importantly, when used idiomatically and not just “in some form”) as fast as C.

There were lots of other languages that tried to replace C with better DX but failed because they weren’t Pareto optimal. So I kind of get GP’s point: DX alone won’t cut it.
