Betteridge's law of headlines:

Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no

Saying one programming language is better than another is ignorant; it's like arguing a screwdriver is better than a wrench.

Each language has their strengths and weaknesses that make them better at some tasks and worse at other. Python's strength is ease of development. Performance isn’t a big concern if you just want to quickly develop the app you want.

Rust might be more performant, but if development takes twice as long and the app only runs once or a few times, that benefit is unrealized.

OP must be cold because he seems to really like flame wars

…Have you tried ML projects in Rust?

I mean, ML/data science devs use Python because the bajillion underlying libraries and implementations are already there.

It’s not perfect. But that’s fine, because it’s a pretty good prototyping language for researchers, and anything performance sensitive is done in libraries anyway.

If you want a real world example, see: Mistral.rs vs vllm.

I don't like python personally, but saying its useless is quite far detached from reality considering all the python projects.

You can argue its slow and i would agree, but if people make alot of stuff with it its clearly not useless.

A programing language cannot be better than another one because its personal opinion.

Yes. I dunno about Rust, but Julia is a very similar to Python but much better.

No. Next question.

(insert spongebob meme showing the fat dude a bunch of big python projects upon which many things run in this world)

i think a key consideration is wether there are alot of developer for the lang.
a foss project will grow faster if its written in rust,js,cpp,python

No games? Mount and Blade was written in python

Python is the 2nd best language for any task.

You can learn niche langs for specific cases. Go for it.

Me, a python dev, will find an API to your subroutines.
