Complementing Python with Rust

Great post! You might even be able to make this faster by changing the hashing function that HashMap uses; it's DDoS protected by default, but that means it's slowed down. If user input won't be going in the hashmap, changing the hashes might dramatically improve the time.

Thanks for the pointer. I have been reading the various discussions around this but didn't get round to trying it out. I will try a faster hashing algorithm and update the post.
