I mean, it sounds like it's gonna be a fairly large codebase. Rust is definitely better equipped for large codebases than Python...
I do agree that Python could give them more outside contributors, but from my experience, I don't think it's worth swaying from your preferred tooling for that. Outside contributions will make up barely a fraction of code changes either way, so you should rather ensure that your core team is productive.
Python can also be used for large codebases (thanks
uv), but I agree that Rust is better suited to the job.Are you referring to the workspace feature of
uv? Is that working well?Management might want us to revive a project from a few years ago, which is like 5% Python, but for which we had to build a ~~homegrown~~ horrid implementation of workspace builds, using shell scripts and symlinks. We'd definitely want to get rid of that, if
uv's workspace builds work at all, really. 🫠uv's workspaces work, yep. It's honestly great. Haven't really run into any issues with them yet.
