Writing your tooling in python is valid while starting out and prototyping.
One of the big criticisms I've seen levied against Rust is that refactoring is extremely difficult, so prototyping on ideas in the language itself is a poor experience.
I've personally had great success using python, then gradually rewriting the tool I have with py03 to "oxidise" the program iteratively.
Starting with C was great for performance of Git, but damn if it's not a terrible UX these days, I can believe that the choice of toolchain and language was a contributor to that fact.
