Rust für Python Developers (english) | Swiss Python Summit 2022

What programming language are you choosing for a new project? This talk wants to explore why we choose a programming language over another one. We will look at the languages Python and Rust to understand their strengths and weaknesses.

Rust is a fairly new language and offers distinct advantages over most other programming languages when it comes to performance and security. There are however clear drawbacks.

We will look at side by side comparisons of code and learn how much harder it is to write a lot of simple things in Rust.

Presented by Dave Halter

I like that the presentation is clearly a markdown document, likely in obsidian’s presentation mode

[nlight]

what I remember the most : like



just a lil poke 😛

So if a 20 years experienced programmer says rust is a hard language to graps there is no way for me to learn it as a second language after python for me ?

[felinegoatzapper]

did anyone count the number of times "like" was mentioned in this video ?

[jesse]

There’s so much just incorrect in the python code snippets.. are these even tested

[uovo]

The correct video title should be HELL for python developers

One thing hard for one may not be that hard for others. Rust is a beautiful language of a beautiful mind.🐯🙏🇵🇰

LOL macros... "Yeah, I need to add a parameter to this macro, how difficult can it be?"... 😅
They're AST-based code rewriting monsters 😱

[fbr]

The point I took after seeing this presentation: don't use Rust, it's hard and scary.

[lycantropos]

note about side-by-side comparison of syntaxes at 10:20 : Python doesn't have `!` operator, it should be `not`

[ovsky_]

Just use Nim. Much easier to comprehend coming from Python.

[carecavoador]

My man is super nervous. He can barely talk.

[amjadiqbal]

It's the future embedded with Blockchain .🐯🙏🇵🇰

Stop changing the video recording scene all the time FFS. Keep the presentation slides in focus, and leave the speaker in their corner, this is very annoying.
