@hyperreal it's less suited to it than Nim and I've toyed with Nim briefly and think it's pretty straightforward for scratching some itches of mine but you're always fighting with a smaller ecosystem of libraries. I wanted an HTTP client I could embed and it was painful, depended on libcurl

It's hard to beat the rich ecosystem you'll have with Python so I think as long as you're doing things that don't need to pull in C/Rust based libs it should be possible to use the tools Doctor suggested
