Things you should probably not say in an interview += "I like Rust because I get to write a lot of code before performance starts to become a problem and I have to optimize"

Yeah. Cause this is clearly not the number one selling point of Rust :)

@Lensflare I mentioned others too, but I actually think this is a major selling point. You can actually smack together an O(2^n) prototype and it'll still be fast enough to test with some sample data.

@lorentz I see your point but still, if you don‘t compare with Python, the performance gain should be negligible.

(Crap, I have to look up how to spell that damn word every time. It should have clearly been "neglectable" and not "negligible". English is weird).

@Lensflare I'm comparing it to Typescript which is my previous main language.

"js is slow" is about as much of a revelation as "the pope is catholic", but "i like rust because it runs my shit code faster than js" is quite funny..

As long as you can get it to compile on the first (or nth) try!
