> Get Rust performance without having to learn Rust

I do that by using the Python C-API, no rust, no fuss...

Thinking about it, I haven't tried to see how well the robots do with wrapping C libraries -- though I usually use pybindgen to generate the initial py-module then fiddle with the code manually.

Other than that lisp implementation has anyone used the python api which lets you register a module as the 'compiler' for external file types? I forget what it's actually name is.
