> Especially how Rust enums and structs make it easy to define new types to guide your programs are a highlight for me.

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.
