Is Rust really fast?

Conclusion. It’s quite difficult to say which language is faster because it depends on case to case. But we can say that Rust is a competitor of C in terms of speed and it is faster than many other popular languages like Java and Python .

Rust enforces bounds checks while the C code contains no bounds checks (arguably idiomatic style for C). C does not require a wrapper object for DMA buffers, it stores all necessary metadata directly in front of the packet data the same memory area as the DMA buffer.
