#2082 proposes that we re-implement lite-functions using Rust. An alternative would be to re-implement lite-functions using Cython.

An advantage of Cython is that it'll probably be easier to learn and understand Cython than to learn Rust, assuming you know Python and have no experience with Rust. Cython is a superset of the Python language, with some added type declarations. It would still be more complex than Numba, but also not require waiting half a year for the first release of Numba after an October Python release.
