Will Rust Take over Data Engineering? 🦀

Rust is a multi-paradigm programming language that has gained popularity for its ability to create highly concurrent, safe, and performant systems. While it may not replace Python outright, there are increasingly many projects trying to integrate Rust into Python/Data Engineering. Rust's strong type and system checks during compile-time make it a good choice for data engineers who want to prevent errors in their code. Additionally, its speed as a compiled language and ability to easily integrate with other languages through foreign function interface (FFI) are beneficial features. However, Python remains the go-to language for data engineering due to its versatility and widespread use in existing tools and frameworks. Rust may continue to grow in popularity for vital and core components of data engineering but is unlikely to replace Python as the primary language in the foreseeable future.
