Python used to have a great standard library, too. But now it's stuck with a bunch of obsolete packages and the packaging story for Python is awful.

In a decade or so Go the awkward things about Go will have multiplied significantly and it'll have many of the same problems Python currently has.

> the packaging story for Python is awful.

Big caveat that this is just for me personally, but uv has fixed this for me personally. Game changing improvement for Python. Appropriately, uv is written in rust.

		The fact that you have to know to use uv rather than any of the other package managers is kind of the point.

Lots of removals have already happened and uv took over packaging in Python-land.

		Well, Python is largely written in C, so there's that.

I just ported (this week) a 20-year-old Python app to uv/polars. (With AI it took two days). App is now 20x faster.

		Both uv and polars are technically Rust, too.
