I can't go get coffee so many times per day, there are better compiled languages to chose from, while offering Python like ergonomics.

I can only go get coffee waiting for my Python test suite to finish so many times per day. I write Rust because the strict type system accelerates the iteration speed for producing correct code more than any other language in its class.
