When you take a look at the TechEmpower Web Framework Benchmarks it's hard to not notice how fast is Rust compared to the other languages. 585,000 requests / s for may-minihttp, 400,000 requests / s for axum [postgresql]! It's tempting to think "ZOMGG!! Stop everything!! We need to rewrite our

      What a whirlwind!

      Also, Rust is perhaps, the shittiest, slowest compiled language out there. Even TCC has a leg up on it.

      TCC is written exclusively to compile quickly, not to do any real optimisation. There is no conceivable situation in which TCC output will outperform equivalent Rust code.

      If you really like how Rust handles its syntax, use a real functional language like OCaml

      Rust takes inspiration from OCaml in almost every area except syntax. Close to zero syntax similarly.

      In fact, SML compilers like MLton are sometimes faster than Rust.

      Lmao, this is a classic line from ~2009 message boards, but with “C++” swapped out for Rust.

      Almost every single thing you said is wrong, but in a way too precise to be attributed to random noise. Like scoring zero in a multiple choice exam. I don’t know if you are some kind of performance art troll, but please continue. I’m an instant fan of your work.

      You don’t have to understand everything, it is ok. And joining a language community for a language you hate just to rant about it, shows that you should try to focus on letting things go. It feels a bit obsessive.

      If you actually like to have a conversation about the language, I suggest you be a bit more specific and we will try to answer to the best of our ability.

      Have a nice day, and don’t forget to breathe.
