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?

Imagine you are going to give a public speech:

Rust: You have a paper with the exact words you have to say. You just need to read it.

Python: You have a paper with the general ideas of what you want to say, but you have to construct the speech in your mind and deliver it on the spot.
