I wrote a minimalist fetch tool for Linux with Python programming language. Have a look: mlzfetch. UPDATE: Now with installation support (pip install .) Also I added a performance benchmark into README.

Rust would be more efficient. Hand written assembly would be more efficient. Using butterflies to manually flip bits in the memory would be more efficient.

OP wanted to use Python. It's not a very large program. It really doesn't matter.
