vigneshwer dhinakaran - Pumping up Python modules using Rust - PyCon 2018

Speaker: vigneshwer dhinakaran

If you’ve spent much time writing (or debugging) Python performance problems, you’ve probably had a hard time managing memory with its limited language support.

In this talk, we venture deep into the belly of the Rust Language to uncover the secret incantations for building high performance and memory safe Python extensions using Rust.

Rust has a lot to offer in terms of safety and performance for high-level programming languages such Python, Ruby, Js and more with its easy Foreign Function Interface capabilities which enables developers to easily develop bindings for foreign code.

2/3 of the talk is useless introduction. The final third fails to effectively cover how to build a python module in Rust.
