Rust

• At the hardware level? -> Optimizations -> via LLVM
• Assembly -> Instructions -> yes, multiple methods
• LLVM/Virtual Machine? -> Intermediate Representation/Target -> One of the better languages
• Logic -> How easy is it to write something performant -> default
• Standard Library -> Do we have to rewrite parts? -> yes, to get the last bit of performance
• Ideas -> Pivoting to new ideas -> always possbile but listen to clippy
• How well can we measure performance? -> Control and Iteration -> cargo bench and integrations
• Ecosystem -> Do people care? -> yes.. too much
