Technically Rust will be 1.0 by the end of the week; but that won't magically make it faster.

The real point to be made here is that Rust can be optimized without dropping any design principles. It's a solvable problem. On the other hand, Java and Go's design puts a limit on the optimization you can use.

(Also, those benchmarks are a year old IIRC, Rust might actually have sped up in that time!)

Indeed for x64-one-core[1] the geometric mean is now closer to Fortran and Ada.

Why didn't you check the commit age in the repo?
