Go is good middle ground between simplicity and being fast/dynamic.
Walk middle, sooner or later get the squish just like grape.

But I bet Mr. Miyagi could beat up your Tathagata in a coding contest.

In recent versions Python got some nice improvements in this area, with the new way of creating NamedTuples, Data Classes and the typing module. I wrote a stackoverflow answer recently that sums it up, if anyone is interested:
Those artifacts in Python don't really compare with what the parent laments. Rust's sum types are one of my top reasons for preferring the language.

I don't think Rust is better than Python for every task. Python is a lot simpler if you can get something done with its built in types (dicts, sets and lists). Python's dynamic types are also a great benefit for some tasks, where Rust's dynamic dispatch support is very limiting.
Crazily, handling dependencies and building a project is way easier in pure-Rust than pure-Python since it's standardized.
