The whole project is a toy and they’re not trying to hide it. The mention of the language is just a descriptor for the project, not an implication that Rust is faster.

"Promising results for gaming performance" is not the kind of phrasing you use for toy projects though.
It's Phoronix, what do you expect? High editorial standards? Phoronix is the one overhyping this toy project, not the developer.

It seems that you're implying that their standards aren't high. Is this a general feel of yours or based on some concrete examples ?

I think that Phoronix does a pretty good job. Its free, has some interesting benchmarks, covers technical topics like the Linux kernel, Graphics, Computer Hardware etc. quite well.

Phoronix gets criticized a bit too much. I don't get it -- maybe someone can explain.

I'd have expected more than HN editorial standards.
Never heard of them before ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's a long-running one-man show that is quick to publish sensational, sometimes inaccurate recaps of emails from mailing lists.
