2.7ms vs 151ms startup—pure speed optimization, Python thefuck already works.

Strengths
  • •Legitimate 56x startup speedup (2.7ms Rust vs 151ms Python) with verified benchmarks
  • •Identical rule set to original means drop-in replacement for existing users
  • •Single-binary distribution removes dependency friction
Weaknesses
  • •Speed gain solves no real problem—Python thefuck invocation happens once per typo, not in a loop
  • •No new features, no architectural insight, just faster compilation of the same algorithm
