Thanks for sharing, Sung!!

lol def dont disagree with that- these days uv makes things a little better though (but still a nightmare once you have cuda extensions etc)

Added!

added!

Definitely agree wrt race conditions! Rust makes concurrency actually fun the work with

Note the “for C++-like systems programming”. Python is not a language meant for that.

Would love to be added :D

Would love to be on there as well 😃

You can definitely replace the kernel launch code with Rust / PyO3 (although I’ve never tried this myself) but the kernels themselves will still be in CUDA C++ (just runtime or compile time built by Rust)

Yep cudarc! (didn't exist the last time I considered learning Rust which was a long time ago)

(Hopefully I'll never have to find out)

To be fair maybe CMake wouldn't be so bad now with Claude

I've definitely wasted many hours of my life fighting CMake 😆

Yes the functional features are definitely very nice too! The status quo on teams I've worked on has generally unfortunately just been CMake 😭

CUDA support in Rust is pretty good these days which was also a reason why Rust was easier to adopt now! (but of course muddles the whole 'memory safety' thing which is also why I don't think that's the main feature of Rust)

Haven't built a sim engine with Rust, but specifically for concurrency code Rust feels way less scary than C++. So application might matter a bit.

Also it definitely would've taken longer for me to learn Rust if I didn't also have Claude to explain all the concepts / compiler errors for me!
