-## Why Rust for Python
-
-Python's flexibility makes it ideal for rapid development, but computationally intensive operations can become bottlenecks. Rust provides memory safety without garbage collection overhead, zero-cost abstractions, and safe concurrency—making it increasingly popular for implementing performance-critical Python components.
