You're right, we should automate everything with Rust \s

People both over and underestimate the ability of users to learn a language for quick scripting/automation. Languages like Bash, Python, JS, VBA... they're extremely accessible for quick and dirty work, which is why people latch on to them compared to others.

I did chuckle a bit.

Accessibility is key, so is documentation, so is flexibility, but again I re-itterate, the right tool for the job matters most.
