Hi all, first, many thanks for the Stockholm sprint, it was my first interaction with the Mercurial community, and it's been very welcoming to me.
I've been pursuing some experiments I started then to convert the Rust bindings I've done in the patch series about ancestry iteration (now landed) to a proper Python extension, using the cpython crate and Python capsules. In short, it works. Early benchmarking shows that it's a few percent slower than the direct bindings through C code, which I think is acceptable compared to the other benefits (clearer integration, easier to generalise, no C code at all). The end result is a unique shared library importable as 'mercurial.rustext', which is itself made of several submodules, ie, one can do: from mercurial.rustext.ancestor import AncestorsIterator It will take me some more time, though, to get that experiment into a reviewable state (have to switch soon to other, unrelated, works) and we're too close to the freeze anyway, but if someone wants to see it, I can share it right away. Also, I could summarize some of these thoughts on the Oxidation wiki page. Greg, are you okay with that ?
