It was a relatively simple program and I am good at programming.
The point is, I put the same amount of effort into writing the same program in Python and Rust, and Rust was 50x faster. With AI, I don't see any reason to use Python these days anyway. I never bought the productivity arguments before (Rust is easily as productive as Python), but with AI Rust is definitely more productive than Python because of the much stronger static checks.
