A Python Interpreter Written in Rust

What makes you say that? Optimized machine code is for the most part optimized machine code, and unsurprisingly benchmarks tend to come down about even. The bunchmarks game currently has them down as

C vs. Rust: 6 wins for C, one draw, 3 wins for Rust

C++ vs. Rust: 5 wins for C++, two draws, 3 wins for Rust

The wins one way or another are also not by particularly large margins.

This may go on to shift marginally in Rust's favor once a soundness bug related to non-aliasing of references is fixed in LLVM and the compiler can safely leverage some guarantees that Rust provides that C and C++ cannot.

Any update on that bug being fixed?
