Goal
Rust is defined as a safe, low-level, system programming language directly competing with C++.
How much does it pay for safety in terms of performance ? Can we expect similar performance on idiomatic code ?
In this talk we
- identify performance weak spots (and strong points) of Rust
- check how bad (or good) they are in practice
- propose countermeasures / performance best practices
Contents
- Slides: English and Russian
- Reading materials
- Various posts and papers which served as base for slides
- Rust performance features
- Pros and cons of language from performance standpoint
- Benchmarks
- Projects used for Rust benchmarking
- Script of the planned talk (outdated)
