    It’s pretty normal for new software to have a fast pace of new feature development, and for software that has established itself somewhat to have slower pace. Especially as fast pace means accumulating tech debt that you have to work on later

        Yea, Python has a tendency to be fast to work on at the start, but once the system reaches a certain level of complexity, it gets unwieldy… Rust doesn’t run into the same problem, but takes a bit more up-front work on the small scale. At least that is my experience working with both professionally.
