Well, we don't have such plans right now, but this is definitely interesting thing to look into. One think that python is better (or just different), is that it is interpreted - IOW you don't need build environment, separate source code etc to apply a trivial change, or just to see how things work. But in some places (like above, or where performance is crucial), using Rust indeed may be a good idea. - -- Best Regards, Marek Marczykowski-Górecki Invisible Things Lab A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
