Just waiting for someone to write a 5000 word essay on why they are moving from Rust to do data science stuff. Totally puzzled by everyone trying to get on to the Rust bandwagon on DS/DE, when being able to iterate and make changes fast is why Python rules even though it is dog slow.

I'd expect a move from Rust to Julia over a move to Python.

Why do you think it is dog slow? Most of the ds/de libraries are in C/C++, with python just calling. I personally checked JSON parsing with Go/Rust/Python. Guess who won.

So, python is not slow if you don't use python and depend on C/C++. Got it. LOL.
