That was a fantastic read. I'm both impressed by the stellar performance of C, and the stellar safety of Rust while keeping nealy best in class performances.

I can't believe that the std C++ implementations performance is this bad!

Happy to see Rust’s standard library near the top in performance. It’s nice to have a good implementation out of the box.
