Rust is C++ like language, with more safety. It makes no sense to say that to get performance one can drop down to C++. As far as I am aware, you can get as fast as C with Rust. Of course, that might mean to compromise on something, some bo

Yay a big win for open source! Now I wonder what other donations were deemed as much as - or more - useful.
