Abstract

What would a Pythonista gain from becoming a Rustacean other than semicolons and brackets?

In this talk I'll share the learnings and achievements I got by adding the Rust programming language into my Python life. Illustrating a real story now in production at scale, I'll walk you through all the pains and joys of this unexpected journey which changed me more than I anticipated.

Proposed agenda:

  • Project introduction
  • Motivations of selecting this project to learn Rust
  • Tales of a Pythonista learning Rust
  • Results, numbers and production graphs
  • How Rust influences my daily Python
  • Was it worth it? Should you do it too?
