Is RUST aiming to build an ecosystem on scientific computing?

• julia

  350 44,534 10.0 Julia

  The Julia Programming Language

  

Have you looked at Julia https://julialang.org ? Its creators are positioning it as scientific-numerical computing focused language with fast JIT executables (faster than Python).

• wgpu

  195 10,995 9.9 Rust

  Cross-platform, safe, pure-rust graphics api.

  

I don't do scientific computing but I do data analysis with Rust. I think one of Rust's biggest advantages over other languages is how powerful it is for visualization. A lot of Python vis libraries are written in Javascript, which adds a third language - Python, C/C++, Javascript, when you envitably want to dive deeper than what the Python wrapper provides. Rust is unique in that it can target the web (where it is the preferred language for WASM) and also directly do native high performance graphics (see eg https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu) whilst still being a high level, productive language. No other language comes close to this. This makes it extremely flexible and powerful for vis.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  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

  147 11,044 9.8 Rust

  Rust bindings for the Python interpreter

  

Have you looked at PyO3 (https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3)? — you could write number crunching code in Rust and expose that as a Python module. Not very familiar with scientific Python usage, but my impression is that Python serves as a glue language between C, Fortran and C++ ecosystems.

• linfa

  14 3,411 6.3 Rust

  A Rust machine learning framework.

  

take a look at https://github.com/rust-ml/linfa for machine learning related crates

• uom

  27 958 6.9 Rust

  Units of measurement -- type-safe zero-cost dimensional analysis

A great type system enables things like unit preserving calculations and Formal Methods.

• proptest

  15 1,582 8.3 Rust

  Hypothesis-like property testing for Rust
