Description

Rust is everywhere - in your tools and in your stack - and has been ranked as the most admired programming language for over a decade. Join us for a quick chat as we unpack why more Python developers are turning their attention to Rust, and why now might be the right time for you to do the same.

If you’ve been seeing Rust pop up at work, on LinkedIn, or in your favourite Python libraries, this episode will help you understand what’s going on, and whether learning Rust could give you a real edge as a Python developer.
