Ok, sure, I’ll accept that calling the article itself disingenuous was a bit harsh. But it does seem like it sent the message that Rust was faster than C, when it is clearly not a fair comparison (as the author mentions themself). I’m actually relatively happy with that part, but it comes at the end and it’s clearly spawned discussion here that proves my point; look at the other comments: the other top-level one says that I should rewrite everything in Rust because it performed better here.

That comment appears to be downvoted, and in addition the winking emoticon at the end suggests that it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek in any case.


It also says you should rewrite things in rust "anyway ;)", not "because it's faster".


It was the highest-voted top-level comment when I posted that.


It was probably one of the most recent comments. New comments get a temporary rating boost to give them a chance to be read and earn upvotes.
