One of my colleagues was experimenting with Rust. He started by writing a sudoku solver which he has already written in C before. Once he was completed writing it in Rust, he was very disappointed because Rust version was twice as fast than the C version which was hand-optimised by pulling off all the tricks he knew to make it perform well. He eventually managed to make the C version as fast as the Rust version by removing the intrinsics.

I do love working with Rust. I deliberately create excuses to work on mini projects that ultimately involves coding in Rust.
