Is it worth it to call Rust from Python with PyO3?

[@paulmairo]

Nice video, this comes in handy as I was indeed asking myself what use cases warrant reaching to PyO3. I am wondering though, if we convert the call `out_dict.get(w, 0)` to a "dummy" `if w in out_dict` won't it be faster? Something I also find missing here in the video is the memory and CPU (cores) usage. Not that I think Python would do better there, but it would be interesting to check.

Great ideas! I’ll try these ideas in a future video.

This was great, thanks! Had no idea this was available. Going to implement it into my python ebook reader

You're welcome! Best of luck!

That's a really cool project! Thanks for bringing it to our attention!

[@ekbphd3200]

No, no, thank you!

Nice video, the speed boost from Rust is almost twice. Can you do polars and pandas performance comparison?

[@ekbphd3200]

Thanks! Yeah, Rust wins again. Ah, interesting idea. I'll have to try that comparison at some point in the future.
