Why hasn’t Rust gained the same recognition as Python in AI, ML, and DS, despite its significant ecosystem potential and notably better speed compared to Python?
Also, why haven’t people actively developed Rust libraries for data analysis and processing, similar to what has been done in Python?
As some above comments mentioned, iteration speed is the most important in ML, so I don’t see python being replaced by something else soon. However, there are some Rust projects wrapped with python for better efficiency and safety (Huggingface’s Tokenizers and Safetensors for instance).
