And thats no different than writing Rust with a bunch of unsafes, and a bunch of indirection as far as processing flow goes.
The nice thing about Python is that it allows you to do either. And naturally, Python has gotten much faster, to the point where its as fast as Java for some things, because when you don't use dynamic typing, it actually recognizes this and optimizes compiled code without having to carry that type information around.
It’s not the same at all. In Rust you cannot just throw an attribute on to a struct in the middle of a function because it makes some call further down the chain easier, no matter how much unsafe you use.
I’m not a python hater, you can’t get some great stuff done with it quickly. But my confidence in writing large complex systems in it is waning.
