Rust vs. C++: Fine-grained Performance
Most insightful part for me was this one:> Many variations [he's talking about Rust] that seemed like they ought to run the same speed or faster turned out slower, often much slower. By contrast, in C++ it was surprisingly difficult to discover a way to express the same operations differently and get a different run time.This is an insidious pitfall that may earn Rust the "slow" label, akin to what happened to Common Lisp.
