I'm kind of surprised to hear that was a concern because my perception is that PyO3 is more analogous to wrapping native C code in Python libraries (which is pretty well established since long before either Rust or WASM), and Pyodide seems more like something for use in browsers rather on the server-side. When I looked into this earlier this year, trying to run Python via WASM on the server side with Pyodide had a bunch of hoops I needed to jump through, and it ended up being a lot simpler to use a build of Python from one of the core Python contributors that directly targeted WASM.

It wasn't all that easy to make it work: https://blog.pyodide.org/posts/rust-pyo3-support-in-pyodide/

`pip install zig` works today.

Python doesn't even work everywhere Python works. I am really starting to like and lean towards languages that compile to a binary instead of scripting languages like Python, Ruby, PHP.

It's nice that, as long as it's compiled for the correct architecture, I don't have to install the language to run the application.

It won't work in those cases. Do you have explicit examples? I suspect this won't come up much as Rust has, IME, much broader target support. (Including platforms without a GPOS)

it probably is AI written

but it's a bit strange

It's too "clunky" for AI, like you stumble too much over the words when reading

If we take the first sentence that could have been from a German person, where such language structures aren't that uncommon.

I myself write a lot like that, and always have written like that, often in way worse ways, like sentences which never, not even after docent of words, end, and have levels of sub-sentence nesting no normal thinking human would want to read. (<- yes that was intentional. I tend to write more concise today.)

Through there are indicators of AI usage in pretty much every single sentence.

But at the same time the writing is too bad, for most current AI agents.

Like reading it is hard, in ways AI tends to not mess up. There are missing filler and glue words. Including some cases where I think they are probably grammatically require (through school was too long ago, so idk.). Sometimes it looks like a different language construct was used (like bracket or -- hyphen inlays) which then where search+replaced with commas.

So I really wonder what that is?

- a lower quality LLM Model?

- AI written text modified by hand leading to it having the worst of both worlds?

- or a human who has self learned English as a second language using AI and believes this is how normal English speakers write ...

and the last option is kinda frightening, because sooner or later we will have exactly that: People who write like AI "but worse" and likely do not even realize what they are doing.

EDIT/PS: Side note; Rust in Python is a decent match. PyO3 is far from perfect but decently usable. Spreading more awareness about it is nice. This comment is only about the writing structure not the content of the blog post.

In practice it is easier to support rust packages on web assembly than C or C++ packages since Rust cross compilation is in better shape. Of course packages that do IO can be a challenge but problematic IO is also more common in C libraries than Rust libraries.

Tokio doesn't work yet but epoll-based support for it is in progress.

One main difference is that pyo3 is safer and easier to use to build said modules and have them work correctly without issues. Thus modules which hadn’t been worth it before to build in this manner suddenly become so

For the same reasons someone might prefer Rust to C in general; safety, ergonomics, etc. If you want to write C in Python, nothing is stopping you.

You can do that too. I generally prefer rust as it's a nice lang to work with.

Because you want to use other existing libraries that are written in Rust.
