Re:How close can pure functional programming get to C?

So, lean-zip "outperforming an equivalent Rust package that crates.io says has been downloaded over a billion times". Yes, zlib-rs has only been downloaded 200 million times... But it is way faster!

This is an example of a single html-file that I serve: https://basketball.4e4.in
It weighs in at around 30 KB including a favicon, and it's quite functional.

In that case, definitely learn Rust, it will expand your thinking about programming and be useful. Zig would just be too similar to C.

Re:Bun Has Been Converted to Rust. Now What?
on Wednesday June 03, 2026 @09:31PM (#48392566)
What has not been talked about here yet, and which isn't directly about AI, is this: "The benchmarks are neutral-to-faster, and the binary shrank by a few megabytes"
This says more about Zig versus Rust, and I was surprised by it, that a "direct translation" of this kind would give a somewhat faster and smaller binary.
