PyCon 2024 showcased a number of ways to speed the pokey Python programming language including sub-interpreters, immortal objects, just-in-time compilation and more.
Well, it is happening, I just don’t know how “blessed” it is by Python maintainers (i.e. are Python releases blocked by Rust binding updates?). It’s 100% possible today and there are projects that use Rust bindings, I just don’t know how that fits in with Python development vs the C++ API.
Sounds like an excellent idea, I’d be surprised if it isn’t happening.
