It's the hardware. Of course Rust remains the fastest and safest language and you must rewrite your applications in Rust.

Interesting tool! Does it get around rate limiting?

It does.

New comment by exxos in "Implementing TCP in Rust"

This is a great initiative to help people understand how TCP works.

But an "implementing TCP in " would be so much better IMHO. Rust is good, but not as readable pseudo-code to understand a concept.
