Standard rust marketing, it's a bit tedious tbh, and I don't think anyone who is honest is surprised any more. Everything is "lightning fast" by default just because it compiles to native. I thought we were past that. Never mind that you can write crap code in any language (not making any comment about the editor's author here).
- Aeolun 5y agoI still prefer crap lightning fast code to crap tediously slow code though. If the only thing people do is build a native application instead of a webapp and that speeds my stuff up by 80% then that'll make me very happy.
- DrBazza 5y agoThat reminds me of the (current) top-most comment in the `drgn` thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29537594 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29537594 "just keep rebooting to solve the problem, rather than fix it"
- Dylan16807 5y agoWhen "lightning fast" just means native, then it could very easily be slower than a webapp that uses a more fitting algorithm.
- IshKebab 5y agoIt's not just marketing. Rust tools like Tokei and Ripgrep are lightning fast. It's partly because it compiles to native - that applies to C/C++ too, e.g. Git is "lightning fast" compared to Mercurial. But it's also because Rust lets you do multi-threading without going insane.
