Pydust provides a potent bridge between Zig and Python, enabling Python to leverage Zig's capabilities in constructing native modules. Users can invoke methods, manage memory access efficiently, and interact with exceptions through Pydust. However, it faces challenges, notably the lack of support for versions beyond Zig 0.11, leading to stalled development on GitHub. Additionally, Pydust's dependency on the Poetry project management system may necessitate adjustments for users unfamiliar with Poetry, impacting workflow integration. Despite these hurdles, the collaborative potential of Python and Zig is promising as both languages evolve.
Python has been around for decades, with many firmly established behaviors that aren't going anywhere. Zig is a young language, and developing rapidly, with plenty of room for change.
Pydust currently has several limitations. The biggest and most problematic is that it currently only supports up to Zig version 0.11. The development of Pydust to support future versions of Zig also appears to be stalled.
