I rewrote a Clojure tool in Rust
While I definitely agree Rust is a much faster language than Clojure, I would be interested to see benchmarks on your code that show just how much faster your Rust code was on the same data.<p>I also noticed that you mentioned avoiding lazy sequences is not idiomatic in Clojure. I disagree with this since using transducers is still idiomatic. I wonder if you could've noticed some speed improvements moving your filters/maps to transducers. Though I doubt this would get you to Rust speeds anyway, it might just be fast enough.
