My experience with Rust developers who dwell in Python land is that they fundamentally disagree with most of the language that is Python and think they know better than incumbents what belongs and what doesn't.
Put other ways: the Python ecosystem has had 30+ years to figure out how to make packaging not suck. It has continually failed - failed less and less over time, sure, but the story is still generally speaking a nightmare ("throw it all in an OCI container" is an extremely reasonable solution to Python packaging, still, in 2024). I welcome advances, especially those inspired by tooling from languages that focused heavily on developer experience.
Being compatible with the mess that exists is where the difficulty comes from.
The last 5 or so years I've mostly done work in rust... so I guess I'm a rust developer now.
Do the last 5 years invalidate my opinions, thoughts, or skills w.r.t. python somehow?
