> Like 99% of all languages currently in use.

Yes, but 90% of languages don't make a good complement to python. If you want to have a language to use in combination with python you want something with fast c-interop, which most garbage collected languages can't offer

> Rust has static type checking, which is what you mean

Maybe I shouldn't have used the word complex. But I did primarily mean that Rust uses the type system to ensure "safety", while Python primarily uses other methods. Yes, Rust doing static type checking is also an important component of it.

> A better reason Python is Rust are seen together is that Python is an excellent glue language

That would qualify any language as fitting well to Python. Which I don't agree with. C fits well to Python because it is a good complement: Python is slow to execute and easy to write, C is fast to execute and hard to write, and communication between the two is fast. Rust fits even better to Python because it's easier to write than C (well, easier to write correctly) and because interop is fast and convinient
