> I think soon should be a time to look at performance. Performance should be close to or better than C++ on average. The language has been designed from the ground up to compete on this level. Also note that Rust potentially has far greater room for compile time optimizations than C and C++, because the compiler knows far more about lifetimes and ownerships. This can be seen in one of the last items in the release notes: > Stack usage has been optimized with LLVM lifetime annotations.
