How is the overall ML story with Rust? Is it usable in comparison to Python?

So far I have only really scratch built backprop. And had severe performance problems with Burn trying to do something it probably wasn't built to do. Once I get further in makemore I should have a better idea.

I'm not ML pro and never used Python or Rust for it, but I know that our ML team uses Python extensively for it. My gut feeling is that Python stays the king in the ML field but the underlying libraries are going to progress from C++ to Rust in the future. Or at least, if Rust gets stronger math/statistics libraries. If you get something cool running with Rust and ML, I'm interested to read about it.
