"Is Rust a great fit for this project?" I get this question quite frequently so I think it's time to write down my thoughts if it can avoid you some painful and costly mistakes. Short answer: no. Coming from someone who wrote a successful book about Rust (Black Hat Rust)
Those doesn’t break backwards compatibility though. Naturally you can’t use match with a python 3.7 interpreter, but what scripts written for python 3.7 wouldn’t work with a 3.11 interpreter?
I haven’t encountered that issue before, so I’m curious what those problems OP have encountered looks like.
I think they introduce new keywords every now and then. Match and async I think?
Edit: I was wrong, this is done in a backwards compatible manner

Huh, ok. I thought something like
match = 0in an old script might break a more recent version.But you may very well be correct.
matchisn’t a protected keyword likeifis.match = 0 match match: case 0: print(0) case _: print(1)Is legal and will give print out 0.
Well, today I learned. Thanks for pointing it out.
