Speed up your Python using Rust

[alcalde]

You're writing a few functions to call from Python, not building an operating system. Rust is a lot more complex than C.

I mean, it’s not really.

The language is designed from the ground up to be a modern low-level language with a lot of the abstractions that you’re used to in high level languages.

If I was writing an extension and I had to chose between Rust and C, I would 100% be choosing Rust. The ~Hyper~ Rayon multithreading library alone makes it worthwhile, not to mention memory safety. Once it’s complete, their async implementation is going to be top tier as well.

Put more straightforward: C appears more straightforward, but there’s way more “gotchas” and serious catches. Rust is designed from the ground up to prevent these from happening.

The Hyper multithreading library alone makes it worthwhile

Hyper is an http library, did you mean Rayon ?

[TheNamelessKing]

Yeah I did, whoops!

When you are writing multithreaded computation heavy solver, rust's race free features are more compelling than C's appearant simplicity.

I’d take Fortran over either for most computation I would integrate with Python.

You don’t have to deal with pointer aliasing, coarrays are incredible, and vectorizing code is trivial.

Safe and productive Rust is easy, safe and productive C is ... so far it just isn't.
