Did you evaluate Cython? I'm not anti-Julia, but I like that my Cython code is useable out of the box from Python, with no wrapping, and then users can continue to use their Jupiter + Python scripting workflows with performant bespoke modules complemented by the full Python ecosystem.

Someday I'll do a project in Julia. But for some such projects, Rust seems fully guaranteed to be performant while Julia might or might not be, so I might still lean towards Rust (unless one of the high quality packages of Julia removes a lot of development time, which is a decent possibility).

I used it for another project but was not impressed. When I tested it, the documentation was scarce, and the deployment is harder than Julia because it needs a working C compiler alongside the CPython interpreter.
