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.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.
