Extending Python with Rust
Sometimes a pure Python script can't just deliver the performance we need. When that's the case we have to resort to writing our logic in a "fast" compiled language like C or Rust and expose the function with through a Python module. This way we get the best of both worlds.

Common Lisp – Myths and Legends (2002)
Lisp has been supporting the world's most complex applications since 1958. And Lisp has grown a lot since then.

One benefit of using exceptions is that it keeps your code mostly clean since the error-handling code is often separate. It is debatable whether…
