I am really curious about Rust after looking for API proxies (in particular Linkerd2 - https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2-proxy). Can anyone share her/his experience on going from Python to Rust? (bonus point if related to API :lol:)

I know linkerd proxy is written in rust. You could look at that project to help get you started. Be aware that their use case is for very lightweight proxies inside of clusters so it might not fit your goals exactly.

Linkerd--a service mesh for Kubernetes--has featured a proxy written in Rust (since ~2017), but its control plane has been implemented entirely in Go... until now!

Show HN: macro_magic – access foreign item tokens in Rust proc/attribute macros

related: this approach also gives rise to eager expansion, which is supposed to be completely impossible in stable rust. The caveat is this eager expansion can _only_ work within a proc macro crate, so it is only useful in very specific circumstances.
Here is the first place such a thing was seen in the wild: https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk/blob/d0fd2660031b...
