I noticed that in the last round of the language shootout benchmarks that rust was significantly behind C++(and I also noticed that this was being addressed on

  There's a few reasons for this: 1. We haven't put in the time for the benchmarks game, because we're too busy working on the language. 2. IIRC, the C++ version uses GMP, and we don't, because licensing. You can install a package if you need GMP, but that doesn't work for the benchmarks game. > I'd like to see more benchmarking done between rust and C++ where there is a solution for each language that is idiomatic or safe while another solution optimizes for performance. Much of Rust's safety comes with no runtime overhead, but some of it does.
