As an aside, can I just say how happy I am that the language I generally find a joy to use is nearly as fast as C? It's my daily driver, and I have almost no complaints. I really do love this language.

Agreed. And even if it would be gone over night I still learned a lot by using it.

Nearly? Rust is already faster than C in quite a few scenarios and benchmarks. The other comment also said Rust is faster when C is compiled through clang.
