Here’s my pitch: https://cdaringe.github.io/programming-language-selector/
I don't have a stake for either languages, but when I select a web server with only Developer UX, Hiring, and Ecosystem selected (as in no performance or correctness) Rust is at 0.87 and Python is at 0.12?
I think if you told someone "I need a webserver in a language with a great ecosystem, easy to hire for, and performance doesn't matter" most people would think of Python. At the very least, nobody would think of Rust.
I like the website. It shows rust for a lot of options go as close to next best.
