not really, what makes sense is being JIT-able and friendly to PyPy.

If your typed query sub-language can't avoid stringly references to the field names already defined by the schema objects, then it's the lost battle already.
The Rust core is not just about speed. It bundles native database drivers (sqlx), connection pooling, streaming serialization. It's more about the full IO stack than just making Python faster. On F("views"), fair point. It's a conscious trade-off for now. The .pyi stubs cover filter(), create(), and other query methods, but F() is still stringly-typed. Room for improvement there.
