40x Faster! We rewrote our project with Rust!

• Numba

  124 9,432 9.9 Python

  NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler using LLVM

  

Our project is dominated by I/O, and the bits that are CPU bound can be optimized using tools like numba (we do some serious math in parts of the code base). We actually did a performance comparison between Rust and Python for computation, and we ended up having comparable performance. Rust was 2-3x faster, but when we turned on parallelization, Python ended up being 2-3x faster than single-threaded Rust, and the effort involved was almost zero (didn't test parallel Rust).

• ZIO

  59 3,991 9.5 Scala

  ZIO — A type-safe, composable library for async and concurrent programming in Scala

  

The one advantage Rust has over Scala is that it detects data races at compile time, and that's a big time saver if you use low level thread synchronization. However, if you write pure FP code with ZIO or Cats Effect that's basically a non-issue anyway.

  Static Type Checker for Python

  

I use pyright as my LSP in Neovim for Python code, so I just use mypy for static type checking within CI/CD and GitHub actions.
