Performance of Rust language

Summary

Rust is defined as a safe, low-level, system programming language directly competing with C++. How much does it pay for safety in terms of performance ? Can we expect similar performance on idiomatic code ? In this talk we identify performance weak spots (and strong points) of Rust check how bad (or good) they are in practice propose countermeasures / performance best practices The talk was delivered at C++Russia 2026 and also published on
