Python + Rust = ?
summary
Presents how to embed Rust into Python using PyO3 and packaging with maturin, with a concrete to_camel example and bench results: Rust wins for large strings (up to x17) but shows little or no gain for small inputs and pays a compile-time cost on first runs. Explains FFI choices, which Rust and Python types copy versus borrow, when parallel threads help, and practical downsides: tricky borrowing and lifetimes, debugging overhead, and uneven third‑party Rust library performance so benchmarks are essential.
