I originally came to rust because I was hoping to replace my c++ usage, but now Rust doesn't seem to care about that segment anymore and it tries to replace people's JavaScript usage. Has rust given on being as fast as c++ now?

So when does the GC go (back) in?

If you think that Rust doesn't care about addressing the needs of C++ users, I'm not sure what to tell you.

It's not like C++ only focuses on features with zero overhead. The zero-overhead principle means that you don't pay for what you don't use. It doesn't mean that compiler developers are forbidden from working on any language or library feature that consumes more than zero cycles at runtime.
