There is nothing interesting about the performance improvement that is a product of using a particular language, and particularly this language. It may as well have been written in Java or Haskell.


Speak for yourself. I would love to see someone write a Java or Haskell tool (where the proportion of Rust code in this tool is similar to the proportion of Java/Haskell code in this hypothetical tool) that could compete in a similar set of use cases. I would learn a lot from it.

I said it's "proof that the language has potential and encourages people to try it out". But you seem biased against it ("and particularly this language"), which makes for a poor argument.
