> I've implemented a hash map in my code. I loved the experience, and I know more about computers and hash maps now that I've done it. Yep, everyone at least once should implement a hash map. Hash maps are so fundamental and so often used that it really pays off to understand what makes them tick. > And my hash map was faster than the one in the C++ STL last I checked. I haven't benchmarked it against the Rust one, though. The one in C++ is very famous for being really slow, so this is a low bar to clear. (: Not sure if someone directly compared Rust's hash map to C++'s, but Rust's hash map is based on Google's SwissTable, so you can probably assume it performs roughly the same.
