Also, not the OP, but I bet it is Python.

- No compile time.

- Not as complex as C++.

- Memory Safety, while they don't care about this apparently, but nice to have.

- Plenty of ergonomic GUI style programming, like PySide (Qt for python).

Of course, I know there are many downsides to python. Such as interpreted languages, especially ones that are duck typed are very slow to run... but that's not one of the OP's complaints.

The article complained that a Rust program can crash when you call `unwrap`—in fact, the author says that's their strongest critique. Python crashes when you call `sys.exit`, so it's no better.

Unfortunately I don't think their critique is really coherent—this is an absurd standard.
