Can Rust make Python shine?
summary
Claims that Rust is fast and safe, then demonstrates it by building a statistical profiler for Python that measures frames periodically. Uses mio for a timer thread, protects shared sampler with Mutex+Arc, and calls Python internals via unsafe FFI and lifetime-checked bindings. Sieve benchmark shows Python ~25 times slower than Rust; C version triggers a dangling pointer bug that Rust’s borrow checker prevents, and the Rust profiler runs and reports hotspots.
