IDK what's going on in your shop but that sounds like a terrible idea!
- Libraries don't necessarily map one-to-one from Python to Rust/etc.
- Paradigms don't map neatly; Python is OO, Rust leans more towards FP.
- Even if the code be re-written in Rust, it's probably not the most Rustic (?) approach or the most performant.
It doesn't map anything 1 to 1, it uses our guidelines and architecture for porting it which works well. I did say YMMV anyway; it works well for us.
