[$] Eventual Rust in CPython

Date:
Fri, 05 Dec 2025 14:33:09 +0000

Description:
Emma Smith and Kirill Podoprigora, two of Python's core developers, have 
opened a
discussion about including Rust code in CPython, the reference implementation 
of
the Python programming language. Initially, Rust would only be used for 
optional
extension modules, but they would like to see Rust become a required 
dependency
over time. The initial plan was to make Rust required by 2028, but Smith and
Podoprigora indefinitely postponed that goal in response to concerns raised 
in the discussion.
