It appears that Javascript is faster than Rust… at least for some things.
The
@Prisma ORM Database system has dropped the Rust programming language entirely… resulting in a speed increase, and lower memory usage.
The Prisma team is reporting:
- 3X faster queries
- 90% smaller bundle output
- “Significantly lower CPU and memory utilization”
With those gains primarily achieved, reportedly, by removing the Rust code from previous versions… in favor of a Javascript / TypeScript implementation.
