Yeah, I don't think python is the right tool here. C++ definitely would be an option though.

Anyway very happy that this is also showing off what rust can do

As far as I can tell, the community is largely divided into three major groups. Those that can read C, those that can read Python and those that can read both. Using either of them would have dodged criticism that your code examples are not accessible to much of the community.

That said, you are right that Python is not the best language to use when you need to use intrinsics, as you would be writing it in another language and using the Python FFI to access it.

To people who already know Rust, yes. To others, not so much
