Why Rust? Conda and Jupyter are python based. What does one hope to achieve with a setup like this?
Rust is a great language for writing Python extensions, using a library like PyO3. Some of the most CPU-intensive parts of my company's feature engineering pipeline are now handled in Rust.
I would enjoy writing Rust for Python even more if I could compile and run Rust straight from the same Jupyter notebooks that I prototype my Python code with.
