Everyone knows that program speed isn't Python's strong point. That's why so many number-crunching data science libraries are written in C.
BUT C can cause headaches. Segfaults are common and memory leaks are something to be feared. What if there was another option? Well, there is. It's Rust. Rust is a blazingly fast, memory-efficient and memory-safe language that's an absolute joy to work with. And I'm going to teach you how to use it to write your Python packages.
To run the code, first install maturin with pip install maturin. Then, from
the fibbers directory, run maturin develop. This will build the Rust code
and install the Python package in development mode in your current environment.
You can then run the benchmarks with python fib.py.
