State of Rust 0.11.0
That is very exciting. I like the direction the project is going.But, one thing worries me -- performance. Anyone know a list or tracker of benchmarks to see how it roughly compares.Or is it too ealry too talk about it? Am I pointing to the elephant in the room? I am ok with saying "we are not there to talk about it, stop stirring the pot". I understand that.But looking at the future, if Rust is to compete with C++, it needs to perform close to it. Not necessarily in the "safer"/default mode, but it needs to have an unsafe, turn-off-all-checks-run as fast as you can mode.C++11/C++14 improved C++ many enjoy and like using it. Many that don't are probably using it for performance reasons. That is a niche Rust will have to compete in.
