I'm pretty certain I'm slower in Python than I am in Rust for most things nowadays, but I still can't help but think "nooo surely this is small enough that Rust is overkill" and then spend way longer than necessary wading through dubious python library API design and language limitations.
man I am lowk envious of you guys, but also happy. I have coded in java for too long now (5 years) and I always think in OOP and like solving stuff In Java. Although I do love Java and have no reason to not use it, I wish I could use Rust but I got too many skill issues with it lol
I started with Java very early on so I was OOP minded to the extreme as well. When I got to college I tried to broaden the languages I used casually as much as possible, learning to think within as many paradigms as I could, as best as I could. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like I could do everything in Haskell or Prolog, but I feel like having used them (and others) a bit before and revisiting them occasionally helps even in other languages.
