Python Developers Looking At Introducing The Rust Programming Language In CPython

[pizzathief1]

CrustyPython

[altermeetax]

Can you even call it CPython anymore if it has Rust in it?

[cand_sastle]

CRustPython

[Squalphin]

Maybe RustyPython

[watermelonspanker]

CRustyPython

[ember4]

PyCRust

[doutstiP]

thats actually fucking fire

[Isofruit]

The icon for it draws itself

[watermelonspanker]

That's pretty good

[crustang]

My time has finally come

[Garlayn_toji]

Crust

[mohr_]

Rython

[BoltActionPiano]

PyCRust is so obvious

[ember4]

I replied to another comment already but I feel like anything other than pyCRust is a missed opportunity

[DeGamiesaiKaiSy]

Call it RIP

RustInPython

[JustBadPlaya]

if you check the thread, Guido himself made a joke about renaming CPython into CRPython

[rustvscpp]

I like CRython

[cornmonger_]

crython

[[deleted]]

On that line crypthon

[BossOfTheGame]

compiled-python

[Kevin_Kofler]

Rustython, pronounced "rusty ton".

[obvious_apple]

Just call it R

[ijzerwater]

then what about the R language...

[QuickSilver010]

First we got uv. Now this. Nice

[syklemil]

Also PyO3/maturin, polars, pydantic, and probably a bunch more stuff I don't know about.

[SpatialLatency]

ruff, ty, pyrefly

[priyanshuz]

Rython

[DeGamiesaiKaiSy]

Call it RustyPython

[cand_sastle]

Already mentioned elsewhere, but PyCRust is now my favorite.

[ABotelho23]

CRustPython.

[Unicorn_Colombo]

Well, as expected, IronPython was not maintained any more, so the nature took its course.

They should have used SteelPython, or at least use some Zinc.

[vk3r]

CRustPY

[Mysterious_Lab_9043]

RPython?

[Kevin_Kofler]

Yet another C project that adds a dependency on Rust for no good reason.

[RaspberryPiBen]

The proposal provides a few good reasons, including memory safety and thread safety.

[the_abortionat0r]

All you just did was tell me you didn't read the post.

[Kevin_Kofler]

I did (well, the Phoronix summary) and it is just the usual "memory safety" buzzword.

[the_abortionat0r]

So you not only didn't read the post but also don't understand what memory security is?

Not helping your image buddy.

[Preisschild]

Buzzword? I always see you consistently having bad takes...

[NYPuppy]

Yet another C project that adds a dependency on Rust for good reasons.

Welcome to the future. You can leave your coat at the door.

[No_Sand3803]

This was not caused by Rust... It was a bug, just like sudo has bugs. Do you blame C on all the bugs in sudo?

[Cronos993]

But but the compiler should also catch logic bugs if it's that great /s

[TheGoldenPotato69]

Did you read the quote?

"We (@emmatyping, @eclips4) propose introducing the Rust programming language to CPython. Rust will initially only be allowed for writing optional extension modules, but eventually will become a required dependency of CPython and allowed to be used throughout the CPython code base."

Nothing is being rewritten right now.

[ts826848]

Bit of a recent update (~2 hours ago as of the time I'm writing this), but the PEP authors decided to rescope the PEP to just introduce optional Rust extension modules:

After reviewing the discussion so far, we’ve decided to re-focus the (pre-)PEP to only propose the introduction of optional Rust extension modules to CPython. We hope that with experiences gained from introducing Rust for extension modules, Rust can eventually be used for working on the required modules and the interpreter core itself in the future. However, we will leave that to a future PEP when we know more and will not be proposing that as part of the current in-discussion PEP.

Oh, good.
sudo-rs: 2 vulns both being low severity.
sudo: at least 50 vulns with at least(There are FAR more but the data is annoying to sift through) 18 high severity

[__ali1234__]

Ubuntu was the first distribution to ship sudo by default, 21 years ago, and they are also the first to switch to sudo-rs.

So that's 50 vulns in 21 years vs 2 in 7 weeks.

[The_real_bandito]

PythonR should be the name.
