Question, is Rust inherently faster than C?

I thought the main benefits were safer code. Is it just the fact that you looked at what needed optimized and put some effort in or did the language choice help?

It can be, but "inherently" is a bit strong. There's also the question of "the best Rust programmer vs the best C programmer" vs "the average Rust programmer" vs the "average C programmer" here too.
