Hacker News discussion abou the recently discussed Rust vs Nim performance comparison

[Hlaaftana]

I don't have an HN account and I don't want to deal with any spam filters. If 
people genuinely believe Nim is 4 times slower than Rust, that's on them, if 
they really saw something promising in Nim they would investigate why it's 
slower and see the problems with the benchmark (though there are less obvious 
ones, `fasta` is only slow because it calls `echo` millions of times rather 
than something that buffers efficiently like other languages do. Crystal calls 
`puts` and has the same result as Nim). The best we can do is make actually 
good and relevant benchmarks.
