In Rust for Python: A Match from Heaven
This story unfolds as a captivating journey where the agile Flounder, representing the Python programming language, navigates the vast seas of coding under the wise guidance of Sebastian, symbolizing Rust. Central to their adventure are three powerful tridents: cargo, PyO3, and maturin.

Some Reasons to Avoid Cython
My new favorite way to write very fast libraries for Python is to just use Rust and Maturin:
https://github.com/PyO3/maturin
It basically automates everything for you. If you use it with Github actions, it will compile wheels for you on each release for every platform and python version you want, and even upload them to PyPi (pip) for you. Everything feels very modern and well thought out. People really care about good tooling in the Rust world.

Which programming language to focus on for my PhD journey in bioinformatics?
Python first, you will be able to experiment quickly with the notebooks. Then maybe write (or rewrite) some modules in Rust that you can expose as python modules, with py03 and maturin. Feel free to publish useful packages on both crates.io and pypi.org, so you can contribute to Python and Rust ecosystems.

python to rust migration
Now if you really want to use Rust, you can rewrite only the part that are slowing down your consumer. It's easy by using Py03 and maturin. Maybe also rayon to parallelize.

Blog Post: Making Python 100x faster with less than 100 lines of Rust
In this case, PyO3/maturin does all the setup and getting the module into Python. They also have docs going into a lot more depth on this.

Is Rust faster than Python out of the box
Lastly if you're willing to introduce Rust, I'd consider a gradual approach using native libraries built in rust with PYO3. Check the maturin guide that helps you to streamline the build process of native libraries : https://github.com/PyO3/maturin . From there you could try to find hotspots in your python app and replace those with a native implementation.

Show HN: Python library for embedding large graphs (Written in Rust)
I like how this is a Rust project without any Python, that publishes a package to PyPI.
It uses Maturin (https://github.com/PyO3/maturin) for this, which I've never heard of but sounds really useful.

On the contrary, it can use and interface with numpy quite easily: https://github.com/PyO3/rust-numpy

Hmm
Once I figured out the right tools, it was easy. Its just "maturin new". It automatically converts python floats and strings. Numpy arrays come through as a special Pyarray type, that you need to unwrap, but that's just one builtin function. Using pyo3, maturin and numpy, https://github.com/PyO3/rust-numpy it's fairly easy.
-
Man, I love this language.
If I'm understanding this documentation correctly then you may be able to pass the numpy array directly with func(df['col'].to_numpy) which may save some conversion.

[D] Is Rust stable/mature enough to be used for production ML? Is making Rust-based python wrappers a good choice for performance heavy uses and internal ML dependencies in 2021?
Otherwise, though, Rust is an excellent choice. The many advantages of Rust (great package manager, memory safety, modern language features, ...) are already well documented so I won't repeat them here. Specifically for writing Python libraries, check out PyO3, maturin, and rust-numpy, which allow for seamless integration with the Python scientific computing ecosystem. Dockerizing/packaging is a non-issue, with the aforementioned libraries you can easily publish Rust libraries as pip packages or compile them from source as part of your docker build. We have several successful production deployments of Rust code at OpenAI, and I have personally found it to be a joy to work with.

Writing Rust libraries for the Python scientific computing ecosystem
Integration with numpy uses the rust-numpy crate: Example of method that accepts numpy arrays as arguments Example of a method that returns a numpy array to Python (this performs a copy, there ought to be a way to avoid it but the current implementation has been plenty fast for my use case so far)

Julia is the better language for extending Python
Given that it's via pyO3, you could even pass the numpy arrays using https://github.com/PyO3/rust-numpy and get ndarrays at the other side.
Same no copy, slightly more user friendly approach.
Further criticism of the actual approach - even if we didn't do zero copy, there's no preallocation for the vector despite the size being known upfront, and nested vectors are very slow by default.
So you could speed up the entire thing by passing it to ndarray, and then running a single call to sum over the 2D array you'd find at the other end. (https://docs.rs/ndarray/0.15.1/ndarray/struct.ArrayBase.html...)
