In this article, Moshe Zadka discusses how Python and Rust can complement each others strengths and weaknesses. Rust is a low-level language that deals with things close to how computers work, while Python is a high-level language that is easy to prototype in. Zadka suggests that developers should prototype their applications in Python and then move performance bottlenecks to Rust. Rust is designed for zero-cost abstraction, and memory safety is one of its unique features. Despite some of its code being marked as unsafe, Rust eliminates memory violations by restricting them to bugs in the compiler or explicitly declared unsafe code. Python and Rust together can offer developers the best of both worlds, high-level and low-level programming.
