Is Rust the future if analytics?

[Lakehouse]

Today I walked into a session that talked about a fairly new language - Rust. The name can mislead you, I believe taking a look at the roots of how to best use CPU cycles is a game changer and Rust is traversing new areas that others might have ignored.

Yes, Rust is definitely part of the future.  It brings performance and simplicity to us.  I think it will add to the community, rather than replacing.  Scala and R will never go away, Python will always be strong, but Rust gives us one other tool in our toolbelt.  Like you said, it is perfect for when you need performance.

Agreed, there is room for Rust in the analytics space, but I don't think Python is going to be dethroned anytime soon, and I'm cautiously optimistic about Julia..
