- The article discusses the FizzBuzz problem, starting with a basic Python implementation.
- It explores extending FizzBuzz to include additional conditions (like 'Baz' for multiples of 7) without increasing complexity.
- Performance benchmarks are provided for Python and Rust implementations, highlighting Rust's efficiency.
- The article identifies I/O operations (printing) as the main bottleneck in performance.
- Optimizations include buffering output and removing newlines to reduce runtime.
- Parallelization is attempted but shows benefits only for larger N values.
- A procedural macro in Rust is introduced for a flexible and performant FizzBuzz solution.
- The article concludes with a call to action for community engagement and a humorous nod to RustConf2025.
