During a recent Python Hackathon in Düsseldorf, Matthias somehow managed to sneak in some Rust code while writing a fast, safe Python module for encoding and decoding JSON. It passes (most of) the Python test suite for the json module and was unreasonably pleasant to write. Listen carefully as he tells the story of a little side-project that got out of hand and how Rust can help speed up even the most boring, highly-optimized tasks like parsing file formats in the future.
