- How to Get Started with Scikit-Learn: A Beginner-Friendly Guide to Machine Learning in Python
As is the case with most Python libraries, it is open-source and free-to-use, making it easily accessible by anyone willing to learn machine learning, and it is built upon other open-source libraries within Python, like SciPy for advanced scientific operations, NumPy for efficient numerical computations, Matplotlib for data visualization, and Cython for increased efficiency and speed, similar to that of C/C++.

- Using Rust to corrode insane Python run-times
Difficult to draw conclusions with no code here.
An interesting thing they didn't mention is that Matplotlib's point-in-path code is actually already in C. So this isn't really a case of Rust being X times faster than Python, it's X times faster than some other C algorithm. That's probably why X is only ~4 (they don't actually give a single-thread comparison), instead of ~50.

I expect the Rust code is faster because that code is waaaaay more complicated than what they probably need (https://stackoverflow.com/q/11716268/265521) - e.g. it handles stroke widths.
IMO this result is not very interesting.
