This will give you a brief introduction to both the languages Python and Rust. This Python Vs. Rust tutorial will compare both languages on various parameters such as Performance, Application, Execution, Error handling, Readability and Companies Hiring. Further, you will get insights into the cons of Python and Rust.

What is Python?

3. What is Python?
Python is an object-oriented,
high-level, interpreted and multiparadigm
programming language
It was first introduced by
Guido van Rossum in 1991
Python's versatility and resilience have made
its use cases in various domains such as web
applications, application development, data
analytics and artificial intelligence
development

4. What is Rust?
Rust is a multiparadigm,
general-purpose and a high-level
programming language
It was introduced by Graydon Hoare along
with Dave Herman, Brendan Eich, and
others at Mozilla Research
Rust is focused on safety, stability,
performance and safe concurrency

5. Performance
Performance
The Rust code is directly
compiled into machine code
without any interpreter. It's around
12x faster than Python
Python takes time to convert
code into machine code as it is
an interpreted language

6. Execution
Execution
Rust is a static type system that
requires programmers to specify
parameters (function arguments
and constants)
Python is a dynamic type system

7. Easiness to Code and Learn
Readability
Rust comes with a steep curve as its
use cases are mostly system
programming. It also has simple
documentation, but is a little complex
compared to Python
Python provides simple syntax and
clearly defined code structure. Python
documentation is highly readable
and has a good community support

8. Error Handling
Error
Handling
Rust will return a value when an
error is found. It provides
recommendations to easily pinpoint
and fix the issues
Python will throw an exception
when an error is encountered. It
doesn't provide any
recommendations

9. Applications
Applications
Rust is used in operating systems,
gaming engines, file systems,
browser components, and virtual
reality (VR) engines
Python is used for web application
development, enterprise
applications, data analytics, data
visualization, machine learning,
etc.

10. Security
Security
Rust stresses on security
and focuses on fixing
memory leaks
Python possesses garbage
collector, which makes programmers
configure memory management and
prevent any memory leaks

11. Companies using Python and Rust
Companies

12. Cons of Python
Python is slower
compared to compiled
languages
Some errors
won’t be shown
until runtime
Weak in Mobile
computing

13. Cons of Rust
Higher learning
curve
Low level
of monkey
patching support
The compiler can be
slow compared to
other languages
