So I actually strace'd hello world in Rust. Most of the syscalls are just from http://ld.so , and so could be eliminated with static linking if you cared. The remainder are for stack guards, which are an important security feature.

That's "streetlight benchmarking" (looking for lost keys under the streetlight, because it is bright there; not where they were actually lost): it is easy to benchmark, therefore it is important! Narrator: deep down he thanked all gods it was not Fibonacci again.

We do need alternative metrics. I nominate "how many functions with an 'e' in their name are called during execution"?
