Rust is very forgiving if the goal is not the absolutely best performance. One can rewrite Python code into Rust mostly automatically and the end result is not bad. Recent LLMs can do it without complex prompting.

The only problem is the code would be littered with Rc<RefCell<Foo>>. If Rust would have a compact notation for that a lot of pain related to fighting the borrow checker just to avoid the above would be eliminated.

That sounds like Rhai or one of the other Rust-alike scripting languages.
