I've been playing with making a rust interpreter and reading other people's work. Here's an interesting blog post (not mine) on making a interpreter in rust match the speed of a c implementation. It seems folks often have to resort to unsafe rust to get the performance they want. I don't claim to fully understand that and am looking for more information myself.

With webservers we already saw that the way to make new things fast in Rust is to use lots of unsafe Rust when needed, optimize the code, and after that think about the right abstractions that minimize the unsafe code surface.
