Pyvo Prague #172 - Rust for Python People

Talks:
Rust for Python People
by David Majda

You’ve probably heard about Rust — a modern take on a systems programming language. Today, we’ll explore it from the perspective of a Python developer. We’ll cover its most important ideas and concepts, see why it’s almost always a better choice than C/C++, and walk through plenty of code examples to get a sense of what programming in Rust feels like. Finally, we’ll discuss when it makes sense to use Rust in a Python project and learn how to get started (it’s surprisingly easy!).
