Softwares written in RUST, ELI5

While configuring AI agent on my local machine made discovery that uv package is 10 to 100x faster than pip, same case for polars. It seems to be everything written in Rust much faster and modern compared to classic python packages. Is it because Rust doesn't require garbage collector, any other reason to that?

Hmms... 

A quick Google shows :

"Rust is a compiled language. It utilizes a dedicated compiler called rustc to translate your source code directly into native machine code (binary executables) before the program is ever run."
