🦀️ ❤️ 🐍️: Fundamentals of Rust Python Interop for fun and profit
Submitted Sep 9, 2026
We will cover fundamentals of FFI that allows two languages to inter-operate within the same application.
- Runtime and ABI
- Memory and Types
- Safety and Performance
Key libraries and how they help with FFI
- Cbindgen, Cython - Low inter-op through Cython
- Pyo3, Maturin - Build Python libraries directly
- Pyodide, WASM for the win! 🏁️ - Python (and Rust) in your browser
Key takeaways
- Mental model for FFI - How are data and types shared
- Key libraries for Python Rust inter-operability
- Unlocking powerful use cases with inter-op
Target audience
- Programmers who want deeper understanding of language inter-op and FFI
- PMs and architects who want to understand what language inter-op unlocks
Bio
- CTO Contextweaver - Industrial data operations platform for manufacturing
- Formerly Senior engineer at Nautech Systems - The most popular open source algorithmic trading platform trusted by 600+ HFTs
