[Media] New releases on Pypi : Rust vs C/C++

A few months ago David Hewitt gave a talk at Rust Nation UK about Rust for Python.

I was unable to replicate his particular graph using the public BigQuery dataset :

bigquery-public-data.pypi.distribution_metadata

His graph was : each first release of a Python package containing native code, not the subsequent updates.

But… I’m interested in those subsequent updates.

So here they are. For information, if a package release contains C or C++ code AND Rust code it is counted for both lines.

I’ll leave the interpretation up to you…

(I can provide the BigQuery query if someone is interested)
