Monty: A minimal, secure Python interpreter written in Rust for use by AI

>>dmpetr+(OP)
There is no reason to continue writing Python in 2026. Tell Claude to write Rust apriori. Your future self will thank you.

>>spaced+CG
I do both and compile times are very unfriendly to AI!

>>JoshPu+mN
Compile times, I can live with. You can run previous models on the gpu while your new model is compiling. Or switch from cargo to bazel if it is that bad.

>>spaced+gY
What compile times do you work with? I use bazel and it still hurts

>>JoshPu+iY
It is a tradeoff, but I prefer my checks at compile time to runtime. Python can be brittle and silently wrong.

>>spaced+DZ
What kind of type checking do you think Rust does at runtime?

>>wiseow+f31
Google it and try it yourself.

>>spaced+TK1
I’m familiar with Rust’s runtime checks, Java has more of those. I’m curious what exactly do you mean.
