What the hell do allocations even have to do with time to read from memory... It seems all of these Rust performance warriors have no understanding of computer architecture fundamentals. | ||

It's not rust per se. It's a human trait. People make uneducated assumptions about the topics all of the time, and it's completely normal since your have to bootstrap yourself somehow to be able to grow further. It's impossible to know everything. And it's also a difficult situation because you do have to arrive to some conclusion. I do think, though, that in this particular case, assumptions made are a little bit all over the place and the tone is overconfident. | ||

If an allocation falls in a forest and never gets written to, did it really happen? We don’t allocate things we don’t write to. Maybe if the question sounds stupid then you didn’t appreciate it, instead of other people being stupid. | ||
