I wish the Python<->Rust interop story was a little better. I learned to write some C++ for an embedded thing (smart flashlight, story for another time) and immediately started writing the Python extensions I struggled to write with Rust.
(The average data science/ML-ish person encounters/figures out custom algorithms maybe three or four times a year, and three of these are fast enough with vectorization contortions. I've had two cases that were recursive and 25X faster in $fast_lang than I could possibly make in Python.)
