Turbo Rails with Rust
summary
Rust native extensions replace hot Ruby paths with safe system code: a one‑liner Rust implementation of Fast Blank matches or beats C, Helix scaffolds the boilerplate as Helix, and a real workload (set‑containment for Zesty) rewrites from Ruby to Rust and benchmarks up to 173× faster, with the compilation safety and zero‑cost abstractions that avoid segfaults while keeping idiomatic iterator‑style code.
