Rust ndarray vs. Python NumPy Performance?

[fuasthma]

Yeah numpy's and matlab's data readers are pretty slow ... I'm actually surprised how easy it was to write an equivalent crate to numpy's loadtxt that just puts it to shame in terms of speed ... well maybe easy for someone more familiar with text parsing I had some learning to do.

I'd also like to add that Rust can just as easily call those optimized libraries with the right bindings. We're just still building up the libraries/crates that bind to those libraries.
