In theory Rust should be faster because lack of aliasing. But that boils down to "a sufficiently smart compiler", which is a fallacy. The only time I compared like for like, Rust was faster: https://blog.habets.se/2024/04/Rust-is-faster-than-C.html https://blog.habets.se/2024/04/Rust-is-faster-than-C.html But that's a data point, not a proof.
