Is Rust faster than C?

    No flame war, please.

    I was looking for something to disprove my idea: there is (should be) no difference.

    Simply because, besides compiler or software bugs, the target machine code should be basically the same. Of course in C you need to add the "safety" runtime which is provided by Rust. But once put on feature parity, there is (should be) no difference.

    Any different idea there?
