I don't write Rust & have no horse in this race but my intuition on this is you have 3 scenarios:

1. Humans writing code: here the usability, readability, accessibility of the language matters - strictness can be a hurdle depending on how a language is designed, so ultimately it's a trade-off.

2. Humans reviewing AI-authored code: here the requirements of (1) still apply to the code reviewer

3. Autonomous agents writing code: above requirements no longer apply so having a strictly-defined language with tight guardrails is the primary consideration.

I think most people are operating workflows in category (2), but it seems uncontroversial to say Rust is more suited to category (3) than python or golang. Typescript, Haskell, Elm, Ocaml could be considerations but you'll find Rust hard to beat here. Certainly neither python nor golang are in the running at all.
