Today we’re very excited to announce Pyston-lite, a JIT for Python that is easily installable as an extension module. We’ve taken the core technology of Pyston and repackaged it so that you can install it through your existing Python package manager, making it dramatically easier to use. Pyston-lite doesn’t contain all of the optimizations of regular Pyston, but it is roughly 10-25% faster than stock Python 3.8 depending on the workload and we are not done optimizing it.

One of the major selling points of the Rust programming language is its low-level expressiveness and memory safety. Unlike programming languages that use garbage collectors like Haskell, Ruby, and Python, Rust provides express functionality for developers to use and manage memory as efficiently as they please in a unique fashion.

Rust achieves memory management by managing memory using the borrow checker, and concepts known as ownership and borrowing to manage and ensure memory safety across the stack and the heap.

This article discusses the Rust borrow checker, Rust’s memory management in comparison to other languages like Go and C, and the drawbacks of the Rust borrow checker.
