RustPython – A Python-3 (CPython >= 3.11.0) Interpreter written in Rust

  99 19,278 9.5 Rust

  A Python Interpreter written in Rust

  

  RustPython didn't adapt the optimization designs yet. One of the current major goal is this optimization: https://github.com/RustPython/RustPython/issues/3244

  RustPython even cannot run `1+1` without calling `int.__add__` yet.

• cc-rs

  8 1,879 9.4 Rust

  Rust library for build scripts to compile C/C++ code into a Rust library

  

  It does support calling into other compilers and toolchains through build scripts and such. Take cc-rs[0] for example: this allows building C and C++ files natively without even calling an executable yourself.

  In practice, I'd expect libraries to just call make/cmake/ninja for you, or (like openssl-sys) ask you to install the necessary libraries using your favourite package manager.

• Graal

  165 20,453 10.0 Java

  GraalVM compiles Java applications into native executables that start instantly, scale fast, and use fewer compute resources 🚀

  

  Its a "universal" VM from Oracle that supports many languages and other bells and whistles like AOT compilation of interpreted languages: https://www.graalvm.org/

  But its Java support is most prominant, and the JIT runtime is significantly faster than OpenJDK.

  Which is why its so promising for Python. I'd argue that OpenJDK is way ahead of the Pyton runtime, and GraalVM is way ahead of OpenJDK.

  But its also kinda iffy because:

  - Python support isnt very good now

  - Oracle is Oracle. They have the better optimizations walled off behind a "Enteprise Edition" registration and license.

• Rhai

  Rhai - An embedded scripting language for Rust.

  

• Servo

  158 28,616 10.0 Rust

  Servo, the embeddable, independent, memory-safe, modular, parallel web rendering engine

  

  It’s gonna depend on what kind of external things are needed.

  It can be more involved, it can be less involved.

  For example https://github.com/servo/servo seems a bit involved but at the same time not too bad either.
