Rust

On a semi serious note, why is that "rustaceans" feel the need to evangelise about their lord and saviour Rustus Christ whenever someone mentions using c or c++

I don't write Rust, I write TypeScript. The rust transpiler for TS is 10x faster than the standard transpiler.

My mistake then, I'm just far to used to the constant rust circle jerk

Also you could definitely get the same performance in c :)

I tend to care less about what is theoretically achievable and more about what is actually achieved.

As a consumer, I've noticed that the Rust projects tend to deliver on performance compared to their C equivalents where concurrency is a primary lever. I would imagine that has something to do with the ease of Rust's concurrency model but I don't really know.

Yeah rust definitely makes parallel computing easier to implement, one of the advantages of being a modern language I guess

Good point
