SE Radio 622: Wolf Vollprecht on Python Tooling in Rust

Wolf Vollprecht, the CEO and founder of
Prefix.dev, speaks with host Gregory M. Kapfhammer about how to
implement Python tools, such as package managers, in the Rust
programming language. They discuss the challenges associated with
building Python infrastructure tooling in Python and explore how
using the Rust programming language addresses these concerns.
They also explore the implementation details of Rust-based
tooling for the Python ecosystem, focusing on the cross-platform
Pixi package management tool, which enables developers to easily
and efficiently install libraries and applications in a
reproducible fashion. Brought to you by IEEE Computer Society and
