Thank you! Although I'm not a huge fan of REPL and notebooks, the rust-data-analysis repo might give me at least a starting point. Currently, I'm not really keen to learn another new language, as I just got started with rust, and want to start using it a bit more.

Rust is great for well defined tasks that are not too exploratory and/or will be ran many times, so performance matters. There are quite a few interesting statistical inference tools being built on Rust right now. Julia is fast, but it still has some memory usage problems in my experience. One area I am interested in where Rust could make a lot of sense is edge computing & ML. Imagine a model such as a Kalman filter in a little robot. Here, Rust's low footprint and latency would be advantageous.
