>But, one thing worries me -- performance. Anyone know a list or tracker of benchmarks to see how it roughly compares.
Or is it too ealry too talk about it? Am I pointing to the elephant in the room?
I'd say it's too early.
First, Rust is a compiled, statically typed languaged using LLVM, including stuff such as non aliasing guarantess over C, and designed to be secure AND fast. It's not like it's some scripting language.
Second, you should benchmark your program first. Worrying about a language's "performance" in abstract is more premature than even Knuth anticipated.
