Simon Cozens Everyone knows that the computer language of choice for font engineering is Python.
But Python is slow, and fonts are getting more complex. Simon Cozens has been working on a new set of font libraries and command line tools in a language called Rust, and they’re faster. Much faster.
In this session, Cozens will talk about why Rust is a good choice for this and what it’s like to use as a language, and will show what Rust font tools are currently available.
