There are a few guiding principles steering the development of Huak:

• Python packaging is a very interesting topic right now.
• It's challenging and dev tools are some of my favorite products, I'm curious of how they work.
• Learn Rust and about building fast, snappy, and opinionated software.

I love Rust's onboarding experience. Cargo has played a large role. It's a great tool for newcomers to use to get their feet wet. Huak can provide the same experience for Python.

There's room for faster tooling in the Python ecosystem. One of the guiding principles will be "Is this the fastest it can be?"

JavaScript has seen a "Going Rust" sub-community pop up. Python seems to be getting one too. Huak would be able to fuel contributions to the intersection of these two languages.
