Instead, tail latencies doubled and CPU utilization dropped. The problem wasn’t the scheduler or our code logic — it was the runtime and OS kernel competing for the same file descriptors during parallel async I/O.

The two big promises that draw people in are memory safety and no segmentation faults in safe code.

This makes it possible to validate a large number of your program’s assumptions at compile time, which is very favorable for a number of reasons.

(Created page with "Summary: Rust frees memory deterministically using ownership + RAII (drop on scope exit). The compiler proves who owns what, inserts “drop glue” to run destructors at the right time, and forbids use-after-free. No background GC thread, no tracing pauses.
