The article compares the only currently available Rust implementation in version 1.8.0 nightly with OpenJDK 1.8.0_60 – which is sufficiently similar to Oracle&#x27;s JRE, which is the predominantly used VM, so I&#x27;m comparing how the languages are used by the majority of users. If you think this unfair, I&#x27;d like to read your blog post where you enlighten us about your implementation of choice.<p>&gt; ... if it matters enough, someone will come along and make you wrong.<p>I&#x27;ll be gladly proven wrong if someone comes around and speeds up my JVM. :-D
