Developer Productivity in Rust vs Python

I am aware that this is a complex subject and impossible to treat objectively, especially given my time limit of 3 weeks.

In order to compare apples with apples I decided to re-implement a Python productivity application in Rust, which I use on a daily basis:

CLI bookmark manager with fulltext search capability: twbm.

Objectives:

Learn Rust and it’s idioms
Get an idea of developer productivity in Rust vs Python
Get an understanding of Rust’s capabilities and ecosystem
Better performance for a frequently used CLI tool

Approach: 1-to-1 translation of Python CLI bookmark manager twbm to Rust.
