Why is Rust slightly slower than C?
Bounds checking is not an abstraction. Therefore you are the one who is twisting the word "zero-cost abstraction" to cover things it doesn't cover.

GC isn't an abstraction either. By that argument, you could claim that you have zero-cost abstractions even if you have stop-the-world GC.

It does abstract over memory management quite a bit taking out the implementation details. What is an abstraction?

Hm, I'm not sure I understand. I don't think I was the one to call bounds checking an abstraction in this thread.
