Performance metrics generally put Rust squarely ahead of Go, but not by a lot.

10x, 4x and 3x performance difference is not "but not by a lot", it is al lot! :D Imagine needing 1 server vs 10 servers to run same app. Same for memory.

Can people stop contradicting themselves when comparing X with Rust just to make X look less horrible, please!
