My fave quote of the week:
 
"Language like Rust (or Go or C# or worse) and that trend are why we need
multiple gigahertz computers
with tens of gigabytes of RAM to run a word processor."

There are only 10 programming languages worthy of being called such:
 
C and Assembly

Spoken like a true kiddie coder. And once again, you have no original
opinions. You only echo the opinions of others.

FYI, speed is not the only criteria to consider. For a given coding project,
speed may not even be in the top 3.

The stated goal of this particular project is to produce SAFER code for
critical internet infrastructure.  The 5% speed difference is a trivial
difference. The contest should be 20K for C programmers to produce code as
safe as Rust code.

And once again.   Grow up.
