Python Developer Seeking Input: Is it Worth Learning Rust for FFI?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/rust

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Rustlings

    :crab: Small exercises to get you used to reading and writing Rust code!

  • Throw yourself at rustlings and you'll find out whether you want to go further with Rust, plus have a headstart for the program if you do.

  • book

    The Rust Programming Language

  • My advice is to take a week to explore The Book and rustlings and see how you feel about it after that.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • PyO3

    Rust bindings for the Python interpreter

  • You may also want to take a look at the PyO3 project to get a hint about what typical Rust <-> Python binding code looks like.

  • Numba

    NumPy aware dynamic Python compiler using LLVM

  • - if no purpose built libraries are faster, use numba (http://numba.pydata.org/) to speed up your code. Optionally you can also use Taichi (https://www.taichi-lang.org/) instead of numba.

  • interoptopus

    The polyglot bindings generator for your library (C#, C, Python, …) 🐙

  • You may want to look at Interpotopus.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
