As someone in Java land, performance is not impressive because anything can beat it. It will take features and stability to get people to migrate.

I probably will not be one of the early adopters, but I'm always excited to see what's out there to contend.

As someone in Java land, you might be more impressed about its memory footprint rather than its performance.

Your Java hello world that takes 4GB of JVM heap space or it will fail with OutOfMemory would likely be only a few mb in Rust (or even less)

Haha, I'm well aware.
