Java developers always said that Java was on par with C++.

Now I see discussions like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/java/comments/1ol56lc/has\_java\_suddenly\_caught\_up\_with\_c\_in\_speed/

Is what is said about Java true compared to C++?

What do those who work at a lower level and those who work in business or gaming environments think?

What do you think?

And where does Rust fit into all this?
