Liked the focus on standards and ecosystem decisions rather than just “it’s fast because Rust.”

One small timeline nit: the article mentions PEP 517 as being from 2017, but the PEP itself was created in 2015. From the PEP header:

Created: 30-Sep-2015 [1]

It did see important revisions and wider adoption around 2017, so I assume that’s what was meant.
