As an example, a really fast sort can't be expressed in safe Rust
However, the two sort algorithms in Rust are safe to use, as well as being faster than their equivalents in C++. In fact even the previous sorts, the ones which were replaced by the current implementations, were both faster and safer than what you're getting in C++
Do you happen to have a link for benchmark ?
i would like to learn what i miss happening in rust. Last time
i read about sort implementations here on HN [0] rust panic safety had some measurable costs: 0. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34646199
Watch until the next slide - it shows a comparison of a port of a very fast C++ sorting algorithm to Rust. Rust is faster due to algorithmic changes. Ignoring those they are very similar speeds; certainly not an issue.
