Python’s Weak Performance Matters
Is writing extensions a lost art? I read a few blog posts about speeding up Python and Ruby with Rust extensions. This should enable rewriting only the slow parts. Later, you could replace more of it if needed. Is writing extensions so very problematic in practice?<p>I know Go has runtime issues making it not very good for mixing with other languages, so it often encourages rewriting the <i>whole</i> application in it.
