Python powers most AI and machine learning (ML). With its rich ecosystem — from TensorFlow and PyTorch to scikit-learn and Hugging Face Transformers — Python has become the go-to language for researchers, data scientists and engineers. But Python has a well-known limitation: speed. Its global interpreter lock (GIL) restricts concurrency, while its interpreted nature makes it orders of magnitude slower than compiled languages like C++ or Rust.
On the other side of the spectrum is Rust: a systems programming language that delivers C++-level…
