Ha, I was just thinking about how Rust bindings to Python might look.
I haven't actually tried this, but since Rust libraries just compile to .so's and it's possible to declare a Rust function with a C signature, I bet it'd be a simple exercise to write a CPython-compatible extension module.
- kibwen 14y ago"I haven't actually tried this" Please remedy this immediately. I'll even provide a highly-imaginative name: "Prusty".
- eevee 14y agoApparently it won't work yet! Tragic. In the meantime, I can deliberate on whether or not to call it FOXDIE.
- phaemon 14y agoSurely "Pyrite"?
- surrealize 14y agoAwesome :) For those with even less of a chemistry background than I have: rust is iron oxide, and pyrite is iron sulfide. It's a good analogy because oxygen and sulfur are in the same group (column) in the periodic table, so they have some chemical similarities.
- crucialfelix 14y agoThere was a music software language called Pyrite. It ran inside of Max graphic programming environment. It then evolved into SuperCollider which is now one of the most used music programming languages in experimental and academic music. Http://github.com/supercollider But that pyrite hasn't been active for a long time.
- eevee 14y agoAwesome.
- malkia 14y agoPrusty comes closes to "Prusti" which is the bulgarian word for "fingers", and "prust" meaning "finger", but also "soil"
