I think for a large project Rust should be easier to manage in the long run.

Also it’s safer and much faster than python.

This is like MINIX vs Linux all over again. Yes, the microkernel architecture is a better concept, but the monolithic Linux was a better implementation.

Well, you've got another think coming.

Strong disagree.

I’m all ears on matters of personal preference and why people do and don’t like languages, but I’ve been maintaining code bases for about 25 years now and I’ll draw my line in the sand here: Rust is a maintenance programmers dream. Strongly typed, easily tested, easily documented, and a borrow checker to gate out the really hard to triage stuff. It has all the tools that I know make my life easier on projects that live for 10+ years.

It may not be your cup of tea and that’s fine, but it’s silly to pretend it doesn’t have the strengths that it does.
