Unexpected productivity boost of Rust

I encourage every one to at least stop writing code in Python.

Pythons power is in the REPL. It's good for when you want to do something ad-hoc that's too much for Bash or a graphing calculator. It has a large enough ecosystem that you can make a PoC for basically anything in a day.

It's really, really good for <1000 LoC day projects that you won't be maintaining. (And, if you're writing entirely in the REPL, you probably won't even be saving the code in the first place.)

the problem is that when you write enough <1kloc projects, a couple of them are useful enough to stay used in which case you are now maintaining python in prod.
