the #programming language #rust | #rustlang gets an increasing userbase in the #science community. So much in fact, that even the journal #nature has published an article on the topic:

it's quite a natural fit, since scientists aren't the best coders. So while rust has a steep learning curve, you can still get results with speeds of C/C++ comparably fast without living in fear of segfaults (that is if the right libraries are available).
@musicmatze sure. probably not the average python-numpy-stack scientist that cant invest too much time in digging into the language. but with such a helpful and increasingly growing community around the language chances are high to find collaborators.
@Halbeard and if not, you can always write them!
