Dominik Wilkowski @dominik-wilkowski.com · 20/10/2025Are there good examples of community standards for a rust community that specifically addresses the all-too-common talking-down to C and other languages?

Dominik Wilkowski @dominik-wilkowski.com · 14/02/2025The 90s were a golden age for efficient binaries—hardware constraints forced developers to optimize. Now, we ship layers of abstractions on top of each other. Lately, I find myself wanting a self-imposed performance limiter, just to build leaner, more efficient software. Even for desktop apps. 230
