Not the person you replied to, but I think the point is that it isn’t really that interesting to point out that you can achieve certain things in Python with enough diligence.

Practical experience shows that languages that force some strictness about things that are known to be sources of trouble as complexity grows unsurprisingly make it easier to manage those sources of complexity.

It is vastly easier to write a performant, multithreaded program in Rust than it is in Python. That doesn’t mean it is easier to write all programs in Rust than in Python - it isn’t.

There might be an argument to be made here, but this is a completely different argument than saying "python code is only readable locally" and "Python does not provide the abstractions to build and understand complex applications".
