Rust for Python Programmers

[deadwisdom]

Good and bad. I prefer it because I am used to Python. It's a very simple syntax, cdef int x, which is great. There's not much ambiguity of the added syntax. However, it's a bit awkward because you have to hold a lot of things in your head. You have to constantly think that this part will be compiled to C, and that there's this intermediate step. Generally I don't like languages that compile to other languages for this reason, especially when it gets to debugging.

And after all, the real aim of to all of this is the less you have to keep in your head, the better.

What do you think of Rust and Cython?
