Python Developers Looking At Introducing The Rust Programming Language In CPython

"We (@emmatyping, @eclips4) propose introducing the Rust programming language to CPython. Rust will initially only be allowed for writing optional extension modules, but eventually will become a required dependency of CPython and allowed to be used throughout the CPython code base."

Nothing is being rewritten right now.

Bit of a recent update (~2 hours ago as of the time I'm writing this), but the PEP authors decided to rescope the PEP to just introduce optional Rust extension modules:

After reviewing the discussion so far, we’ve decided to re-focus the (pre-)PEP to only propose the introduction of optional Rust extension modules to CPython. We hope that with experiences gained from introducing Rust for extension modules, Rust can eventually be used for working on the required modules and the interpreter core itself in the future. However, we will leave that to a future PEP when we know more and will not be proposing that as part of the current in-discussion PEP.

Oh, good.

So, you want more Rust failures.

if it pisses off negative Nancies like you then yes. I think we should rewrite all code ever written in rust. just to spite you.

This was not caused by Rust... It was a bug, just like sudo has bugs. Do you blame C on all the bugs in sudo?

But but the compiler should also catch logic bugs if it's that great /s

Oh, good.
sudo-rs: 2 vulns both being low severity.
sudo: at least 50 vulns with at least(There are FAR more but the data is annoying to sift through) 18 high severity

Also PyO3/maturin, polars, pydantic, and probably a bunch more stuff I don't know about.
