Synthetic benchmarks written in Rust are as fast as those in C. In practice, Rust applications are more efficient than their C counterparts. The performance and efficiency is nice, but the main benefit will be stable software that is free of vulnerabilities caused by common mistakes in C and C++. Virtually every Curl vulnerability would not happen in Rust. It is easy to develop highly parallel and asynchronous software that just works and is easy to maintain and debug.
There’s half of a century of programming language theory research between C++ and Rust. Which solves many of the issues in programming that are common in C and C++ software. Such as memory safety violations that result in weird application behaviors that are difficult to diagnose, application crashes, and critical software vulnerabilities. The language concepts and compiler features also prevent a lot of common logical mistakes a programmer may make. Such that the best practices in C++ are the baseline for any Rust project that successfully compiles.
As a result, you may notice Rust projects developing to maturity much quicker than you’d expect.
