Yes and it's more disturbing. It says "In Rust abstractions are free" when an algorithm was discussed.
Rust having "free" abstractions does not change the performance characteristics of an algorithm: this is what the grand-parent was talking about.
- steveklabnik 8y agoYes, I certainly agree with that distinction. If you'd have said that in the first place, I wouldn't have said anything :)
- EugeneOZ 8y agoWhat is results disturbing is that you are arguing just for the sake of arguing. "Algorithm" is a too wide term - everything is an algorithm, especially in programming. Talk was about abstractions, now you're trying to say it was about algorithms. We need "ignore" button here.
