How about a Rust interpreter written in Python? Now that would be something worthy of a top HN post!

If you thought compile times were bad before…

Then that would be the perfect solution for you! Interpreted Rust has no compilation step, you can jump straight to execution!

Python has a compilation step, you can't jump straight to execution in Python.

Interpreted != not compiled.

This is irrelevant for the Rust interpreter written in Python. The interpreter will likely already be precompiled into bytecode when you run it on a Rust program.

Technically speaking, Rust is a compiled language, which means an interpreter won't do the job.

You can interpret its MIR (mid-level intermediate representation) like Miri or const evaluation does
