Or FORTRAN! Also Rust is relatively new to the Python world. Tools like maturin and PyO3 are fairly recent, comparatively.

Bjarne Straustroup years ago also said that C is obsolete, because you can just convert your C code to C++, wich have more features. Today there still many codebases written mostly in C, like the Linux kernel and MacOS kernel. Fortran also was said to be obsolete, but still, no language beats it in scientific computing at being super fast (not even C). C is not suitable for huge codebases where security is critical, like web browsers, that is why Rust was created, but for small-medium codebases or where memory safety is not critical, C will take 20-30 years to be replaced, i have seen Rust codebases, and like one 1/3 of the code is there just to workaround the borrow checker, like RefCell, Rc, lifetime annotations, that is why i did not bothered to continue learning it. Also most Rust newbies comes from Python or JavaScript, they just are not used to low level stuff, that is why they think that "manual memory manegement is spooky". The solution is to just do less dynamic allocations, thus using less pointers, it will make your code safer and faster. You can not code C with a JS mentality, where you can just do dynamic allocations as much as you want. I have seen C codebases with like 20k-30k lines, using like 20 pointers or less. You have to group and allocate similar data together, instead of doing many tiny allocations. Read about Data Oriented Design. C is mostly a fine language, it only needs Quality of life improvements, not a radical change in design. The only thing in C that i miss from Rust is generics, null safety and vectors. But i can get 2 of those by renaming my sourcefiles to .cpp . Rust at the moment is overhyped in my opinion, like Ruby in 2005. I will consider it later, when Rust becomes more mature.

You're right - you will need to understand some aspects of memory management. However, Rust holds your hand a lot in this regard - the compiler is a lot more advanced and the error messages are unbelievably awesome. Also, Rust forces memory safety by default, so having a safe program is generally opt-out, whereas in C, in the vast majority of cases, it's opt-in. You have to spend time thinking and checking over your code to make sure everything is safe. Sure, there are external tools that can help, but since they're additions and not language features, they'll never be as well-integrated.

I think your first point is EXACTLY why Rust is great for Python extensions. The people who will find this video helpful will mostly be people who want to replace a small portion of their code to make it run faster. They won't be building out complex applications in Rust (most of the time), and knowing about the stack/heap is probably useless to them. Let's face it, if you're running a Python program, memory isn't your primary concern. For this purpose, a little hand-holding goes a long way towards getting things done quickly. Most people will switch to Rust to speed up a small bit of their code and then go right back to Python. Their goal isn't to learn the language in its entirety. Learning memory layout and usage is definitely important for other things though! And I do agree that you'll have a much better understanding of it all after using C/C++ for a while than Rust, so I agree with you there :)

Even if we rewrite it to drop the dependency on the extra crate. Out of the C, Python, and Rust programs, the latter would definitely look the most complex. Curiously, a Julia version would indeed look quite similar to the Python one but would run as fast as the Rust version.

I mean.... I acknowledge the syntactic simplicity Rust provides (which comes with its own quirks btw unlike python). I *WANT* to be convinced of using Rust but I still am not. Most people who use Rust including you claim "C is unsafe, uze Rust. C++ bad, Rust gud". Since C++11 (yes it is 2011 - it is 12 years old now) there are smart pointers. You would be hard pressed to come across C++ programmers using malloc or free. Even allocation with "new" is a code smell now. With smart pointers, when you get an exception, memory is guaranteed to be freed. Even shared pointer counter is thread-safe. Lots of ways to define atomic operations etc. How is the language not safe? Bottom line: if someone is writing unsafe C++ code in 2023, IMO they don't really know what they are doing / using 12+ year old techniques from old textbooks. Safe C++ code is as fast as C and should be at least on par or faster than Rust. What's the point?

That would be great!

Until you want to use a library, or integrate your code with a system. This is hipster nonsense.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. All you're doing is writing a Python library, but in Rust. You can build it and push it to PyPI, then it acts like any other library, and you can just install it with pip. Other libs like Pydantic and Polars already take this approach, and people successfully use them in large projects all the time, so I'm not sure your argument holds water, I'm afraid. The maturin develop command just helps you install the code into your local environment for testing, which is how I use it in the video.

I don't need C, but I just started learning C, and I like it

Nice! C is a great language to know, and can be really useful. I personally prefer Rust for Python stuff, but I can definitely see the benefits of C in other areas.
