This is more than a little silly, and simply shows that the self-proclaimed PHP developer (who is "not surprised that PHP is 'fast'") has little to no idea what is costly in execution time, even in such a tiny example of a program, and has no idea how to figure that out.

What's silly is that somebody asked a legitimate question in good faith with code samples and everything, and you responded with an ad-hominem attack with no useful information.

  Didn't someone here say we should judge a language by its community? Well the Rust community is not very nice.

    As one that has never, ever written a single program in Rust, am I part of a "Rust community"? But I agree, I'm not nice at all, indeed.

    OP of the Reddit post here. I made a Hacker News account just to come here and reply to you, because I would like to set the record straight in this regard. I have always consistently found the Rust community to be nothing but amazingly helpful and friendly. I've posted in the Rust subreddit before in a different account and got the same helpful and friendly responses I did this time. If we should judge a language by its community, then I, for one, wholeheartedly recommend Rust. There was actually another post recently where someone asked a similar question only about Kotlin, and there ended up being this collaborative effort where people kept rewriting and optimizing both his Kotlin and his Rust code. Check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/d85gyh/why_is_this_slow/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/d85gyh/why_is_this_sl... There's an update too: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/d8kew3/why_is_this_slow_update/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/d8kew3/why_is_this_sl...

  On the contrary. I provided the most useful information there is (_T_I_N_Y_), even if I didn't hold your hand, either (although I wasn't really answering anyone's question, but rather commenting on it). But we can't all be geniuses. I'm not one, either, but I don't feel attacked by anyone for pointing that out, and you shouldn't, either.
