Well, it really is. Went for Rust from Python and gained faster execution - wooow, no waaaay. No other language can do that (sarcasm, and to add more to it: did they ever try to actually optimise code first?)

The way to really optimize Python code, is by reducing the amount of Python code in your program, since Python itself is dog slow. Instead, you want to offload as much of the work as possible to modules written in compiled languages. So completely switching to Rust, or another compiled language, is simply taking that strategy to its logical conclusion
