Rust + Python

Description

The speaker will share the experience of building a Rust library and then importing it as Python module by PyO3. He will show a toy filesystem based on FUSE, which allows you to "mount" any RESTful service as a local filesystem. With this prototype, it is possible to build your own YouTubeFS or GitHubFS that treats any API call as a file operation.
