I read it as they want it to be possible for some commands to be written in pure rust, but that they expect to maintain the majority of their current Python code.
- seba_dos1 9y agoIf it's already possible to write C extensions, then it's already possible to write Rust extensions, so that would be a non-news.
- oconnor663 9y agoI think the idea is that in order to avoid Python interpreter startup time on commands that are primarily written in Rust, they also want to have the main function written in Rust, with Python interpreter startup being an optional codepath (that a majority of the codebase still depends on).
