How would PyO3 help you avoid type hints and mypy?

I think the idea is that they move their business logic to the Rust code, since Rust's type system is more powerful and more sound, instead of trying to make do with MyPy

Wouldn't it be more of a priority to move it for lower memory use and higher request speed? A better type system is good, but often these are a struggle with scaling interpreted languages compared to other lower level languages.

For many people the primary appeal of Rust is its type system and related features (declaring deep immutability, pattern-matching, etc)

Not sure what's meant by this

It would minimize the python surface required to be covered with type-hints and mypy. If possible, one could simply point django to the modules generated from rust.

I'll give it a shot tonight and see how it goes. Now I'm curious.
