Show HN: RustX – Python Ease, Rust Speed

If you've ever felt trapped between the simplicity of Python and the terrifying borrow-checker of Rust, you need to see what GrandpaEJ is building. RustX is a "best of both worlds" scripting language that offers a clean, minimal syntax but hides a high-performance Rust engine under the hood.

Unlike other scripts that hit a performance ceiling, RustX features a built-in JIT compiler that can transpile your code directly into a native Rust binary. Imagine importing Crates.io libraries into a script as easily as a pip install, then hitting build to get raw, bare-metal speed. It’s early days, but for anyone looking to build high-performance tools without the boilerplate, this is the project to watch.

The "killer feature"? It can transpile your scripts directly into native, optimized Rust binaries. You get the simplicity of a script, the power of Crates.io, and the raw speed of bare metal—all in one tool.
