From this link: “A study done by IBM found that Rust and WebAssembly could be 15x (15,000%) faster than compiled languages, such as Scala, which is traditionally considerred a high performance language.”

This calculation is off by an order of magnitude. 15 * 100 = 1500, so a 15x increase is not 15000%.
