Parameters can have `noalias` on them. This is [currently undocumented](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1521 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1521) and [not yet safety checked](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/476 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/476) and there is an [open area of research considering doing it the opposite way](https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1108 https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/1108). Provided that it could be safety-checked, opt-in aliasing has the potential to make Zig even faster. As far as I'm aware, this is currently the only way in which Rust could potentially outperform Zig (and C).
