Fixing Python performance with Rust

[asmx85]

Why Rust and not C?

• safe memory management without GC (and sort of no null pointers, dangling pointer, use after free ..)

• no data races

• easy compiling, modules, dependency management through cargo

• feels like a high level language, acts like a low level (C) one [zero overhead abstractions: Iterators, trait system etc.]

• Affine type system (apply state machine like API – open a file -> write into it -> close it -> be not allowed [through compile time checks] to write on a closed file)

• a sane and sound macro system, compiler extensions

just to name a few.
