I just published a free article based on my talk at Scientific Computing in Rust 2025. It distills lessons learned from maintaining bed-reader, a Rust + Python library for reading genomic data.

The rules cover topics like:

  • Your Rust library should also support Python (controversial?)
  • PyO3 and maturin for Python bindings
  • Async + cloud I/O
  • Parallelism with Rayon
  • SIMD, CI, and good API design

Many of these themes echoed what I heard throughout the conference — especially PyO3, SIMD, Rayon, and CI.

The article also links out to deeper writeups on specific topics (Python bindings, cloud files, SIMD, etc.), so it can serve as a gateway to more focused technical material.

I hope these suggestions are useful to anyone building scientific crates:
