                A set of instructions on how to fix the harfbuzz + Infinality issue and restoring good-looking, Infinality-like font rendering.
              
          
    Disclaimer: Please follow this guide being aware of the fact that I'm not an expert regarding the things outlined below, however I made my best attempt. A few people in IRC confirmed it worked for them and the results looked acceptable.
Attention: After following all the steps run gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache as root, this prevents various gdk-related bugs that have been reported in the last few hours. Symptoms are varied, and for Cinnamon the DE fails to start entirely while for XFCE the icon theme seemingly can't be changed anymore etc.
Check the gist's comments for any further tips and instructions, especially if you are running into problems!

                Calling Rust from Python/PyPy using CFFI (C Foreign Function Interface)
              
          
    This is a small demo of how to create a library in Rust and call it from Python (both CPython and PyPy) using the CFFI instead of ctypes.
Based on http://harkablog.com/calling-rust-from-c-and-python.html (dead) which used ctypes
CFFI is nice because:

Reads C declarations (parses headers)
Works in both CPython and PyPy (included with PyPy)
Lower call overhead than ctypes
