This is very off weird take: Refactoring in Rust is one of their strengths as language (a major one!) where even VERY deep changes can be done in economical times.
Try the same in python is nearly impossible.
And I mean it: I fully rewritten all my app (a fairly complex niche eCommerce platform) to async and remade all things along it.
And I have A LOT of experience building, rewriting, and porting code; and Rust is the faster/more friendly to refactor both large or small in all my years.
However, I concede that get the knowledge with Rust have challenges and my first attempts at this (when doing my hobby https://tablam.org language) were miserable by lack of understanding, so it could be a factor.
