I... what? Python is a beautiful way to evolve beyond the troglodyte world of sh for system scripts. You are seriously missing out by being so pertinently against it.

Just you wait till someone shows you how Rust is to Python what Python is to shell scripts. For one, null safety is a major issue in most corporate Python code, and much less of an issue in Rust code.

Rust is decidedly not a scripting language.

Don't get me wrong, Rust is great and I use it too, but for very different purposes than (system) scripts.
