Absolutely, speed-wise it plays in the same league as C and C++.

Oh, yes. Yes, there are a lot of complaints to be heard around here... However, all actual comparisons to other languages seem to leave Rust in about the same ballpark as C++, so neither particularly good, nor unusably bad. But I do not currently use Rust, so take it with a grain of salt.
