I agree that it is completely possible to write slow code in Rust, but the idea is still that, in general with a relatively skilled developer, a compiled langage will usually result in a faster program than with a interpreted or jit-ed langage. So, assuming you are competent in said langage, you might as well write it in your compiled langage of choice, assuming performance is one of your major priority.

That's a serious advantage for long running programs that don't know much about their input, which might be the important ones. That might still be the realm of the sufficiently smart compiler though, aka vapourware, so in practice today you're probably right.
