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's JRE, which is the predominantly used VM, so I'm comparing how the languages are used by the majority of users. If you think this unfair, I'd like to read your blog post where you enlighten us about your implementation of choice. > ... if it matters enough, someone will come along and make you wrong. I'll be gladly proven wrong if someone comes around and speeds up my JVM. :-D
