There have been times I needed to yell at Claude to rewrite some Python program into a faster lang because it was truly CPU-bound. I chose Rust purely cause of Cargo and the rest of the toolchain, despite being way more familiar with C++ (did use Rust but it was 9y ago). Didn't even care about the borrow-checker for that.

I think he forgot to praise cargo.
(Imho, having cargo available is often already worth a RIIR.)
