Yep, you're right. I was kind of rambling. :)
As for the zero-copy stuff, I am not educated enough to claim anything. I have just seen some claims by Rust and liked the idea of the borrowing -- but I know data in the stack is always going to be faster than data in the heap.
I am just wondering if we can't stop with this whole "copy your data" thing all the time.
My comment was a rant + a general musing of a guy who lately mostly codes Elixir; the lack of strong typing is a major pain at times, and sometimes I also wonder if the BEAM VM can't be much faster.
That's all. Apologies if my comments were off-topic.
