    Rust compiles to machine code like C.

    Just like you can call binaries written in C from Python and return their result, you can also run binaries written in Rust. In fact, there are helper libraries to provide some syntax to do this.

      I assume you meant that both Rust and C compiles into machine code? Python compiles into bytecode that is then run in a VM, Rust and C usually doesn’t do that as far as I know.

      I was mostly curious if it was as easy as in C. Turun’s reply answered that question though. Cheers.
