This was definitely a really big complaint. Python's just slow to start up, and last I checked Python 3 makes things even worse here.

Startup time really made me believe that the optimal language to write CLI tools is Rust.

That and the great libraries Rust have for CLI apps. Really good stuff, and you can get productive quickly.
