Pretty cool, especially the potential for using python as a scripting language embedded in rust programs. That said, python makes me wince.
I think it's very naive for a programming language to make you "wince", tools are tools.

#13I think it's really cool that Python has a healthy third-party interpreter community. PyPy, IronPython, Jython, and now RustPython expand Python's accessibility. It's very cool to see how many people are working on this, and I wonder what kind of problems with CPython this has exposed also.
I wonder if anyone actually uses those third-party interpreters for anything serious. I've never come across anyone that did.
At least PyPy sees real production use.

I was recently looking for some ways to make a rust project dynamically configurable. Yaml/toml/etc are too static or are terrible to describe logic in (yet we do it all the time for CI, infra etc, ugh). WASM would be an option, but overengineered for my case. Ruby (through Artichoke), or Python (through RustPython); but they come with the downside of introducing Ruby or Python. I haven't decided yet, but would prefe…

#17Does it allow sandboxing, or is Lua still the only good option for that?
There are so many cases where you'd rather not give extension scripts unlimited access to the OS and file system, you'd think this option would be more common...

PyPy is one of the most underrated python implementation. It just makes your pure python code 20x faster without needing to change anything ( if you don't have c++. Extension depends)
We had used PyPy in production , especially on Real-time/ asynchronous web apis that doesn't need machine learning stack

O lord of the compiler, lend us thine wisdom.

There's a bunch of scripting languages written in rust that targets "embed-in-rust", for example
https://crates.io/crates/duckscript
You can use the above links to browse crate "dependents", that is other crates using these dependencies if you are looking for example usage.
