I think the idea is that they move their business logic to the Rust code, since Rust's type system is more powerful and more sound, instead of trying to make do with MyPy

Wouldn't it be more of a priority to move it for lower memory use and higher request speed? A better type system is good, but often these are a struggle with scaling interpreted languages compared to other lower level languages.

For many people the primary appeal of Rust is its type system and related features (declaring deep immutability, pattern-matching, etc)

Not sure what's meant by this
