There are many ways to get rid of bounds checking in Rust. One of those ways is just utilizing iterators. For alternatives, there's a bounds check cookbook you should checkout [0].

Thus far, I've written two libraries that utilize Rust, and they are usually associated with "high performance". I was able to exceed the performance of similar libraries written in C/C++.

To be perfectly clear, this doesn't mean Rust can replace C/C++ in every scenario, but the actual perf gap is narrower than some folks may be willing to admit.
