Description
Rust is a new systems programming language from Mozilla that combines strong compile-time correctness guarantees with fast performance... and it plays nice with ctypes! Come learn how you can call Rust functions from Python code and finally say goodbye to hacking C!
Abstract

Plus, get a brief overview of the Rust programming language, what it's good at, and why you might prefer it over C for your next project requiring low-level optimization.
