Intervaltree with Rust Back End

A new Rust-powered “interval tree” just landed in Python, promising faster searches for overlapping ranges—think calendar time slots or DNA segments—with a simple install and a drop‑in feel. The dev behind it is flexing hard, calling it “significantly faster” than Python’s version and teasing classic balancing tricks (AVL and red‑black trees) to push speed even more. Cue the comment section turning into a language family reunion—with side‑eye. TypeScript fans dropped receipts, like this TS library, while admitting they might “move some functionality from TS -> Rust” if the hype checks out. Python folks are vibing with the easy setup—pip it, import it, search overlaps—and the ability to add and delete ranges like it’s nothing. Meanwhile, a C++ veteran calmly slid in with a link to Boost’s interval library, praising its “excellent API” and reminding everyone that C++ had a seat at this table long before Rust was cool: Boost ICL. The mood? Equal parts speed-chasing and toolbox bragging. The jokes write themselves: Rust as the gym bro, TS as the influencer plugging their own product, and C++ as the wise uncle clutching decades of benchmarks. Drama level: civil, but spicy enough to click.
