[@andizumko8860]

as you've rightly noted - it's more about comparing gin vs rocket, than rust vs go, but still, thanks, quite insightful

[@AntonPutra]

well except fibonacci

[@shifteleven]

@@AntonPutra My other comment disappeared, but the fibonacci algorithms aren't the same. The Rust algorithm handles a few other cases that when I add that same logic to Go, the Go implementation runs in half the time.

[@AntonPutra]

@@shifteleven Thanks, I got your point

[@ko-Daegu]

This shows nothing yes go is slower than rust nothing new but 80 is such a big no no this test is not accurate at all

[@shifteleven]

I added this to a comment of a comment, but thought I would add here. The Fibonacci implementations are not the same for your Go code and your Rust code. Your rust code does extra checking to avoid extra recursion calls. In my local testing, I can speed up Go's fibonacci implementation by like 50% just by using the same algorithm that you use in the Rust code. Also, I can further improve the Go code for fibonacci where it's blazing fast if I rewrite the recursive function such that it can make use of tail call optimizations. I get it's there to artificially simulate load, but I wouldn't want someone's conclusion to be that "Oh man, Go under load is 80% worse than Rust!" when it's a case of this artificial function. All of this is to say, I don't disagree with your thesis statement that Rust is more performant that Go. Rust just is faster when it's time to run code when all things are considered equal, especially now with async/await.

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks ShiftEleven for the feedback!

[@oscarpinochet]

also i don't see a json serialization in the rust code for post method. in go code you are making a json serialization on post method with c.JSON.

[@tuV13ja]

I knew there was something like that haha Thanks! Now I don't need to check the code 🤣

[@BulbaWarrior]

Fibonacci functions are not even mathematically equivalent e.g. rust_fib(n) == go_fib(n) does not hold for all values of n since go uses 0 and 1 for the base case, while rust uses 1 and 2. Because of that rust version will also overflow/panic on fib(0), not a rusty way at all. Rust is a wonderful language indeed, but can we please prove it with proper science

[@AlexanderKrivacsSchrder]

@@oscarpinochet Rocket's Json type used in the handler automatically serializes. This is something basically every web framework in Rust offers as a return type in handlers.

[@TweakMDS]

Wow, I did not expect there to be this big of a difference. In my mind (purely based on reputation), golang was already pretty efficient, but this feels like comparing python with any other language, where rust comes out well and truly on top. Definitely worth exploring rust further. I'd be interested to see how a more involved use case including database access (pgsql or mongo) would pan out. My expectation is that the difference will be less, but it's still nice to explore the quality of database clients for example. Thanks for this.

[@AntonPutra]

Thanks Michael for the feedback. I'm working on the test that includes the postgres. By the way, somehow aws lambda written in go was faster, based on my previous benchmark...

[@mmmhorsesteaks]

Be careful with this conclusion - the implementations of Fibonacci are not the same so possibly the difference is smaller than you might expect based on these results.

[@TweakMDS]

@@mmmhorsesteaks Yeah, ideally you'd want an API to do a bunch of realistic stuff, like some file IO, some list sorting, a database call, and maybe even object transformations. In any case, this was a very solid test, and it matches some other results I found meanwhile.

Hi Anton. Great videos. Really deep diving stuff! Very enjoyable & in many cases, very practical Re: latency: Rust has better latency? (~5m47s) diff is 0.01ms (4.53 vs 4.52 & 4.98 vs 4.97). Well within error function range of switching time between virtual cores/memory eviction & processing sequence of exposed Prometheus; I'd call that even. Like you said it's really not about Rust vs Go here but the underlying REST libraries. Having said that, Rust does have an edge, if it is slight in some cases (not all); But mass adoption of Rust vs "easier" languages (not vs Go) is not too dissimilar from learning Assembly vs C (BTW - worked with both; much older!); I'm not holding my breath.

The Fibonacci algorithm you used is based on recursion and everytime a recursive call is placed a new function is called in the function stack which means it also context switches the previous function and it takes a lot of time. Ideally you don't want to use recursion for simple tasks that can be done in a loop. Use recursion to solve problems meant for recursion. If you implement the same function through loop, i am willing to bet you that you'll lose most of the CPU execution time.

rust is awesome but I would warn anyone about getting too complex in the code, because it can get very tricky there are a lot of deep mechanics going on in the language that you may or may not understand from the start, so you might end up with many reiterations on your code before it actually works well. Designing ahead is not as easy as it is in other languages where the compiler just lets you do "anything". The rust compiler is much more restrictive and usually there are only a few good ways to do what you want, and getting it right as a novice is even more unlikely than in other languages. So make sure you really understand the deeper concepts before relying on them in your designs.

you didn't tune GOGC and memory limit for go.

[@AntonPutra]

what's the best practise?

That strong Russian accent 😃 Thanks for benchmarking!

Welcome, happy new year! :)

Instead of gin, try fiber.

[@AntonPutra]

I tried it in another video, it was equivalent to grpc calls so i had to redesign the test =)

[@DasGehtSoNicht]

You'll get a lot more performance and less usage by building Rust with optimized release flags

[@AntonPutra]

What would you suggest?

[@DasGehtSoNicht]

@@AntonPutra Basic release flags [profile.release] strip = true # Automatically strip symbols from the binary opt-level = "s" # Optimize for size lto = true # Enable link time optimization codegen-units = 1 # Maximize size reduction optimizations

[@koalakakes]

we're comparing unlike things here. the code really isnt the same on each app. Also i wouldnt save money converting something to rust from go because it takes like 5x longer to write something in rust than it does in go and i probably dont need that additional performance unless im doing some really specific systems programming at scale or something.

[@AntonPutra]

sure

[@lying6624]

I don't get why you choosed Gin for a Golang, because Gin performs very poorly. It would be better if you would test goFiber on the fastest fasthttp-raw engine.

[@AntonPutra]

Agree, I'll use fiber next.

do rust vs zig

[@AntonPutra]

Sure =)

[@jaedson-barbosa]

I don't think Zig is ready to be used in production yet.

@@jaedson-barbosa Umm idk but there is a javascript runtime named Bun out there which is built on top of Zig
