Dave Halter – Rust for Python Developers – SPS22
"What programming language are you choosing for a new project? This talk wants to explore why we choose a programming language over another one. We will look at the languages Python and Rust to understand their strengths and weaknesses.
Rust is a fairly new language and offers distinct advantages over most other programming languages when it comes to performance and security. There are however clear drawbacks.
We will look at side by side comparisons of code and learn how much harder it is to write a lot of simple things in Rust."
