What does Rust compile to

Rust is a decent C++ replacement if you have the same goals as C++ , but if you don’t, the design has very similar drawbacks. Both Rust and C++ are what I like to call “kitchen sink” programming languages, with the obvious implication. These languages solve problems by adding more language features.

No . It compiles to LLVM intermediate representation, the same CLANG compiler compiles C & C++ into.

On per-function basis Rust code is about the same size as C , but there’s a problem of “generics bloat”. Generic functions get optimized versions for each type they’re used with, so it’s possible to end up with 8 versions of the same function.
