In this particular case, the fact it's written in rust gives it some very interesting properties: - it makes compiling your entire project into a standalone executable trivial - the interpreter can be compiled to WASM way more easily than with something like pyodide - you can provision python with cargo, which mean no more fiddling with pyenv, deadsnake, epel, etc. and yet getting a consistent, to the minor version, python distribution - rewritting you hot path in rust becomes first class citizen. Since the python story is, start with python, and when you need to scale, you can always create an extension later, this is really attractive. All that has only value, of course, if the project reaches a good compat and is supported. But still, the possibilities it offer are not negligible.
