I also did not say "always," I said "every time I try it." The benchmarks game is a public example of this, with well-optimized implementations in all languages.
Why can't people just take the win of "10% slower, 10x easier"?
Rust versus C clang :-)

I’m not really sure what your point is by linking the benchmarks game. I mean, it’s a fun activity, but this is saying nothing about C vs. Rust. It may or may not be saying something about GCC vs. LLVM.
