I'm feeling old. This is really at the top of a HN thread?
Since you self-describe as "coming from Python," you maybe haven't yet really gotten that deep into the internals of computers and what kind of stuff you might wanna do that isn't well supported by higher-level languages. This is especially relevant when we get to talking about performance guarantees, wherein very little can get "guaranteed" about a garbage-collected system, by definition. So while it is a pain to deal with "low-level concepts" like in Rust, it is also well worth it depending on what kind of tech you need to make.
