I understand that, but it could just end up being a measure of how much money we are willing to pour into libraries. If you start putting money in to any language, you should see efficiency increase and bugs decrease.

A nice result would be them being about the same speed, but Rust offering greater protections.

It was an intrigue, not a demand.
