Having worked extensively with both, I don't think this is an apt comparison.

Type inference & hinting at the IDE level is just not as developed either

I used Python and I noticed over the years that things like type interference drastically improved.

Similarly type checker in Rust extension for IntelliJ was lacking even though Rust has superior type system.
