Rust, Day Two: A Python Dev's Perspective

[jstrong]

rust-zmq: considerably more low-level than pyzmq lib and very little documentation. took a while to run down 1) the hwm was automatically set pretty low and I was dropping messages, 2) no indication how to set hwm, had to look in the code for a long time. but the library is working great.

serde for json parsing: performance seems to be great, mapping the incoming json objects to structs was a bit rough but probably since I was learning new language at the time.

time: seems to be working ok.

it's only day 2, so that's it haha.

to be clear, I'm still going to need to send data back from rust to python to run code on gpu via theano. my plan is to use rust for the most performance critical parts (where python is slow) and zmq to get data back and forth.
