+description:
+  Python is great for productivity and readability. Rust is great if you want things to run really fast.
+  Isn't it a shame we can't use both in the same program?
+  It turns out we can! Learn how, with the help of some clever libraries, we can write compiled Python modules in Rust.

+In this talk, you’ll learn how to get started with using Rust directly from Python.
+
+We’ll start by introducing Rust itself. It’s a very different language to Python with a whole new way of thinking.
+Along the way, we’ll meet Cargo, Rust’s excellent package manager.
+
+Then we’ll see how we can plumb Rust code into Python as a native extension module, and distribute it as a wheel.
+We’ll do this using Py03 and Maturin.
+
+You don’t need to know anything about Rust, extension modules or packaging - this will give you the fundamentals.
+By the end, you will know how to get started putting the power of Rust inside your Python programs.
