Sure, but by the same token, you can't conclude Rust code is never faster than Go/Java/whatever for real-world code on account of some TechEmpower benchmark, as the parent poster was trying to do.

A very good point, and I had overlooked what the parent poster had said!
Rust is clearly part of the top performance category and I would not be surprised if with some work it were to become (momentarily) faster by some small amount than Java, Go, etc. I say "momentarily" here because many of the performance-oriented frameworks and platforms are continuously working on tuning within their stacks, so there is considerable volatility in the specific ordering over time.
