Rust Speeds Up Your Code: 70x Energy Efficient Than Dynamic Languages

Rust outperforms dynamic languages like Python, Perl & Ruby in speed & energy efficiency by 70-80 times, using less memory & forcing better coding practices.

If you use Python ๐Ÿ , Perl ๐Ÿช , or Ruby ๐Ÿ”ด then one of the advantages of Rust you'll find is it speed ๐Ÿš— and general efficiency.
There are several benchmarks showing that Rust code runs at virtually the same speed as C or C++ code while the 3 dynamic languages I mentioned are substantially slower.
There are researches showing that C/C++/Rust are about 70-80 times more energy efficient than the 3 dynamic language. ๐Ÿ“ˆ
A small integer in Python uses 28 bytes. in Rust it can be as low as 1 byte.
Python has the advantage of allowing arbitrary large integers, but I never need anything really really...
