- mushufasa 3y agoNo, it looks more like a Rust equivalent of libraries like ffn (financial functions for python) or many of the other ones listed here https://github.com/wilsonfreitas/awesome-quant https://github.com/wilsonfreitas/awesome-quant Using rust to do exploratory analysis in python seems like a misguided idea. But using rust to productize models that have performance and accuracy sensitivities, the things that C/C++ is still used for, indeed sounds like a good idea. Most of the python libraries used in finance, like numpy/pandas, call out to C for performance reasons; the libraries are essentially python bindings + syntax to C functions. It would be interesting to think about replacing that backend with rust.

It would be interesting to think about replacing that backend with rust. Lots of this going on already - check out projects like Polars and DataFusion.
