   Once you know how Rust works it is likely your Rust code will be faster than C/C++ with less effort. I can say this because I was using C++ for a long time since Visual C++ 6.0 and moved to Rust recently about 3 years ago.

   One of the reason is you get the whole program optimization automatically in Rust while C/C++ you need to use put the function that need to be inline in the header or enable LTO at the link time. Bound checking in Rust that people keep using as an example for performance problem is not actually a problem. For example, if you need to access the same index multiple times Rust will perform bound-checking only on the first access (e.g. https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=release&edit...).

   Borrow checker is your friend, not an enemy once you know how work with it.

   The bug used by that repository [1] isn't the only one that can be used to escape the Safe Rust type system. There are a couple others I've tried [2] [3], and the Rust issue tracker currently lists 92 unsoundness bugs (though only some of them are general-purpose escapes), and that's only the ones we know about.

   These bugs are not really a problem in practice though as long as the developer is not malicious. However, they are a problem for supply chain security or any case where the Rust source is fully untrusted.

   Non video version is there [0]. My take on it is that there are no 'language comparisons' there. Difference is between older and newer algorithms and benchmark favorite is written in C. Its cool that new algorithms are implemented in new-ish language first.
