Scientist are not turning to rust. Scientist, if they are turning, are turning to the scientific standard compute language and its plethora of platforms and libraries: Python.

Rust is fine, but it will never catch up or replace Python. Python is just good enough at what it does and will only become better.

Yeah, I agree. All the scientists that I know who are using a programming language, are using Python because it’s easy enough to learn how to use and it’s powerful for their needs.

I really don’t see Rust being used for anything other than very specific cases.

Perhaps?

Very unlikely
