I think people may not know or may not remember that ~6 years ago or so there was a fairly significant effort to increase rust's position in the benchmarks. I remember it coming up a lot on /r/rust when the language had stabilized. "C or C++ is first place? Isn't Rust supposed to be fast?" etc.

I assume nim has gotten a lot less attention in these benchmarks and there's probably huge wins available to it.

In the benchmarks game —

This is not the benchmarks game, although "some of the benchmark problems and implementation are borrowed from it".

Ah, I recognized some of the names from the benchmarks game so I sort of just assumed it was a reposting of them.
