^ Yup, another team's work in a heavy lifting language.
Ruby, Java (etc) folks should also depend on notify then we get decent effort to performance tune and bugfix once and bind to more elegant HLLs like Python multiple times. The alternative is to code it yourself and end up with Watchdog's 137 open issues and 20 unconsumed pull requests.
Sounds good to me, but I'm currently not clear about python's interface with rust. Is it production ready?
If you'd like to work in it that would be great. Otherwise I'll look when I get a chance.
Is it production ready?
there's a nice setuptools plugin that works like cython https://github.com/PyO3/setuptools-rust it will also let you use --py-limited-api=cp35 to build abi3 wheels
