A new CPython roadmap proposes giving Python 3.16 an optional Rust backend for zlib, moving parts of the interpreter's C base toward Rust. The timeline would put the change in the release expected around 2029. The plan is not yet decided, but the prospect of Rust inside the core Python implementation is drawing attention from developers.
