I was a year long Python user when I stared learning Rust. Reason: I knew just enough C/C++ that I knew I wouldn’t be able to pull through learning it properly from a perspective of time. But I wanted a strongly typed fast alternative to Python without garbage collection.

I had read some stuff about Rust and it seemed like a interesting language, mature enough for my applications. I tried it out and came to like it more than I would’ve expected. In fact I tend to use it over python for many things nowadays. One of these things is definitly how the module system works, but I agree with you: if you fuck up in Python with your code structure, the problem is definitly between chair and desk.

However: Rust won’t let you get away for cheap if you don’t think about structure, and this could certainly help some to adopt better practise (which in the end is good for all of us).

Interestingly enough my appreciation for and interest in languages like C and C++ grew a lot, after I had learned Rust. It gave me a good new perspective on C++ and certainly learnd me ton of good patterns and concepts that will definitly end up beeing useful in other languages. Rust certainly is well thought out and good ideas are never bad to look at.
