I will take a look at it, but are the benchmarks comparable, since to quote the site, "For now we can use C Rust wrappers for performant libraries."? Torch is LuaJit over C, and Tensorflow has Python and C++. Is Rust making it fast, or the interface code to the C libraries?

The interface code to the C libraries (which is written in Rust). We are however optimistic that there will be Rust libraries popping up in the future that outperform the current C implementations. (Optimistic as a Rust user, not as developer as Leaf)
