Over the past few days I have been trying Julia. While I don't have much of an idea what I'm doing yet, and I'm probably doing a lot of unproductive premature optimization for the sake of exploring, I see a similar type of difference compared to R and Python where I have more experience. What I am curious about is why you chose Rust rather than Julia. As I've understood the chatter so far, Rust is great for low level programming, and can work well as a replacement for other system level programming languages. Julia on the other hand is supposedly tailored for the type of task you are talking about, and like Rust, the chatter says Julia can be similar to C and Fortan in terms of speed. My understanding of Rust was as a low-level general-purpose language and Julia as a technical or scientific programming language that is similarly fast. Anyway, I'm just curious about the trade offs.
