Even regular Rust code is more “exciting” than Python in this regard, since you have a choice between self, &self, and &mutself. And occasionally mutself, &'aself, and even self: Box<Self>. All of which offer different semantics depending on what exactly you’re trying to do.
I’ll add that 100% of the above is understood by the compiler. Unlike Python or JavaScript where you don’t know how bad you have it until the program is already running.

At least python has a decent runtime typing system
JS’s type system feels like what you’d get by giving a monkey access to unlimited cocaine and a computer
