ok, so you just confirmed rust does some stuff behind the scenes for you. and that comes at a cost.
what is more important is to understand how to architecturally build software and achieve performance and maintainability and so on. i rather spend my limited hours becoming better in a language like c or c++ which is not going away anytime soon than learning syntax, a new way of thinking and a package management system i don’t need.

- howinteresting 4y agoThe performance ceiling of C++ is substantially lower than that of Rust. For example, it is roughly impossible for humans to use `restrict` with C or C++, while it's a completely normal part of writing Rust (and LLVM optimizations have finally been turned on: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54878 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54878) Also see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103070 https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103070 and https://reviews.llvm.org/D136659 https://reviews.llvm.org/D136659, which start introducing further Rust-specific optimizations.
