Over the past year, I've become really fond of the Rust + Python combination. Projects such as UV, Ruff, Polars, and Pydantic have shown time and again that Python doesn't have to be slow. Polars for example has been a game-changer when working with large datasets in the DS/ML space.
Inspired by these projects, I set out to build an incredibly fast Python email validator using Rust. Check it out! https://lnkd.in/g7_CBUjq
With tools like Maturin, it's surprisingly easy to create these high-performance projects.
I'm excited to see how the Python ecosystem continues to evolve.
