One of my clients had given me #Phillies tickets to four separate games. I gave away one to my mother a couple of weeks ago and another to my assistant...

last night...

My assistant is sending me pics of her at the Phillies' first no-hitter in over 12 years. Happy she was there for it, but....that could've been me!

Buttons, (edited ) to programming in Does Lemmy really benefit from Rust? Is code execution speed the bottleneck?
@Buttons@programming.dev avatar

Rust is not to blame, but that code that has been written in Rust might be to blame.

The algorithms used have more effect than the language used, and Rust might make using certain algorithms more painful and thus steer programmers towards less efficient algorithms. Using clone is often an example of this, it's a little easier and gets around some borrow checker difficulties. (This is true in general, but I don't know if this is what has happened with Lemmy.)

Look at salvo [diesel] coming it at #200+ on this benchmark1, lots of programming languages have at least one framework that is faster on the microbenchmark. This isn't especially meaningful, but it does show that, let's say, a feature rich framework in Rust might end up being slower than a Python framework that's laser focused on the specific use case.
