One does not simply "get Rust performance".

Rust can go that fast because of guarantees its compiler enforces about what the code is doing, that JS emphatically doesn't.

By all means build your tooling and runtime in Rust if it helps, but "you can write high-performance code in JS with no Rust-like constraints" is fundamentally a nonsense pitch.
