From the link: "The proposed #Rust implementation [for #Python] will use zlib-rs, which is “heavily tested and used by the Firefox, uv, and Cargo” projects and “faster than zlib and zlib-ng on many platforms”."
From https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/zlib-rs : "Performance is generally on-par with zlib-ng."
I hope any discussion of the performance benefits of zlib-rs bindings includes a head-to-head comparison with zlib-ng for Python. (I see one at https://pypi.org/project/zlib-ng/ has bindings to zlib-ng.)

@caleb Yeah... it might be interesting if one day I have a project to work on that actually calls for Rust, but I've not come across a project like that in the things I've built. Yeah, I would agree of course, Rust is better at intense CPU stuff than Go. Having no garbage collector is pretty elite... #rust #go #garbagecollector #performance #cpu #ram
does anyone have a spare #Rust book laying around they’d be willing to send me for a friendly price? :)
that’s one thing I miss from the UK: the abundance of cheap (used) books. books in the Netherlands are crazy expensive…

@farseen I’ve always preferred #go because it’s much easier to work with. There’s a lot of complexity in #rust. But now with the rise of Codex and Claude, I wonder if that matters as much. But at least when I wrote Go I still have a thorough understanding of what it does. I’m not sure I’m ready to fully fly blind and let an AI just wrote code and assure me it does what I want…

I have experience in #Rust, #C, #Python, #Golang, JS/TS and #Zig. I'm also familiar with #C++ and #PHP.
My rate is 20 USD/hr.
My timezone is GMT+5.30, but I can be available online for syncing for an 8 hour block of your choosing from GMT 4AM to GMT 3PM.
I can do the first 16 hours for free, so that you can test the quality of my services before you commit.

I've just published 10+ blog posts detailing the #Python Language Summit 2026. The Language Summit was held this year in Kraków, Poland at #EuroPython 2026, with discussions about the future of the Python programming language, including free-threading, #Rust, garbage collectors, type annotations, and namespacing.
Please enjoy and thank you for your patience:
And this was on the 20th, the news from a few days earlier, that the #Rust rewrites shipped by Canonical in #Ubuntu had some egregious years-old bugs, having not really had time to reach people like the #OpenBSD people.
