Dan’s tangent on Rust and Data Engineering. First up we have the article from Airbyte. From here I ramble about a number of things, but essentially, Rust is smaller, faster and more sustainable that Python - it’s way better at exploiting the hardware you’re running on, with lower overhead.
You can read about the things I mention at the following places:
burn - a comprehensive deep learning framework, offering exceptional flexibility and written in Rust
candle - a minimalist ML framework for Rust with a focus on performance
Notebook Evaluation for Rust get rust in your jupyter notebooks
polars - fast dataframes for rust and python
pyo3 - Rust bindings for Python
