At least 1/3 of Python's CVEs could have been prevented by using a memory safe language like Rust: https://www.cvedetails.com/product/18230/Python-Python.html?...

- You eliminate a whole class of errors from the Python implementation, making it not only safer, but easier to contribute too. Indeed contributing as a beginer on a big C project is super hard, and need a lot more supervision than in rust.

- You leverage higher level concepts. This makes it easier to debug, easier to read, easier to maintaing, and all in all more productive.

- You get a vastly better toolchain. So of course again more productivity, but also potentially the possibility to include external dependancies or splitting the project in several parts. You can do that in C, but it's hell of a lot more work. Cargo in rust has a stellar reputation.

- Instead of providing Python, you can just provide cargo. Suddendly, your dev plateform is Rust AND Python. Together. With C it's very hard to do, but with cargo, it's possible to abstract all that and make them work like a singular entity. The possibilities are amazing.

- You prepare for the future. C is a legacy language. We use it because we don't have anything better now, tons of existing code and documentation, plus experienced devs. But 20 years from now, you will wish Python is not written in C.

- Free webassembly: being able to emit webassembly out of the box is going to get more and more important, as everybody wants it to become the lingua franca. Rust offers this for free. But even as importantly, it may help us to use webassembly dependancies into our Python project.

Serious Question: does everything need to be useful?

It interprets Python - what about that doesn't appear useful to you?

Serious question: why not?

It's not.
