> Some features might be around support for things like Unicode where a tool could work 90% of the time but that extra 10% of support requires implementing a lot of additional logic that slows the routine down for the other 90% of use cases too.

This kind of thing is where Rust really shines. The ecosystem was built post-unicode, so things tend to support it by default. Ripgrep for example has been unicode aware from the beginning, and you have to opt-out if you don't want that.

I’m aware of Rusts support for Unicode, I was only using that as an example because it’s easy to visualise since most people who’ve written any kind of text parsing will understand the additional computational overhead correctly supporting Unicode costs. But while the example doesn’t directly apply to Rust, I guarantee you that there will be other edge cases in a similar vein that might cause issues.
