Language Transition

Navigate the transition with experts who’ve been at the forefront. We will help guide your company or system from Python’s versatility to Rust’s unparalleled performance, avoiding the common pitfalls and ensuring a smooth transition.

We recommend Rust for any project that requires high performance, security, and reliability. Rust is a systems programming language that runs blazingly fast, prevents segfaults, and guarantees thread safety. It is a modern language that is designed to be memory safe, and is a great alternative to Python. We recognise that switching an existing codebase to Rust can be a daunting task, and we are here to help you with that transition, having done it ourselves.

There are many reasons to switch to Rust, but here are a few of the main ones:

• Rust is fast. Rust is designed to be fast, and is comparable to C++ in terms of speed.
• Rust is memory safe. This means that Rust prevents memory errors such as dangling pointers, buffer overflows, and use-after-free errors. The code is checked at compile time, so you don’t have to worry about these errors at runtime.
• Rust has a unique approach to concurrency and it eliminates data races by enforcing the ownership of data. This means that you can write code that is thread safe without having to worry about other threads accessing the same data at the same time, and potentially changing or removing it.
• Rust is reliable. Rust is designed to be reliable, and it is impossible to write unsafe code in Rust. This means that you can write code that is guaranteed to be safe.
• Rust is small when compiled. Rust is designed to be small when compiled, and it is possible to compile Rust code into a single binary. This means that you can write code that is small and fast, and it is possible to write code that is small enough to fit on a 20Mb docker image.

We recognise however that there is a significant learning curve when switching to Rust, and we are here to help you with that transition. We believe that the best approach for a company to switch to Rust is to start with a small project, and then gradually transition the rest of the codebase. Providing training and support for your team is also important, and we can help with that too.
