> Both Rust and C++ can be substantially faster than C, for different reasons. C++ is better at capturing semantics in libraries. Rust knows more about what code is allowed to do, and can optimize accordingly.
People have been saying this for decades about various languages and C is still the standard for performance except for a few specific cases. How many more decades until we can consider this "sufficiently smart compiler" a myth?
