I find Python easy to just code a prototype with. But I find Rust easier to get right.

    This is basically what I’ve been telling people for years. Prototype in Python to get the concepts down, then when you’re serious about the project, write it in a serious language.

    python is IMO the closest thing we have to a platonic ideal scripting language: it's pseudocode that actually runs and you can just slap together libraries with minimal mental effort until it works.
    Great for gently getting into programming so you quickly see results without having to learn arcane incantations, and for writing small tool programs; not so great for writing a kernel in.
