- You can send code in code blocks by using three backticks, the code, and then three backticks or use something such as https://topaz.github.io/paste/ if you prefer sending it through a URL

About 3ms. A manual implementation might be a bit faster, but not by much. The regex crate is quite optimized for pretty much these problems.
Wow, that is very fast, nice. I was happy with 120ms, seems I’m leaving a lot of performance on the table.
Edit: Regex cut my total time in half, but I am measuring the whole execution, still a massive improvement.
The 3ms are for part 1 only, part 2 takes around 27ms. But I see that our approaches there are very similar. One difference that might make an impact is that you copy the substrings for inserting into the hashmap into
Strings.Removing the string copy with the length->count array from @sjmulder saved me 20ms, so not super significant. I’ll have to play the the profiler and see what I am doing wrong.
I think your approach looks a lot more Rust-like, which I like. Part 1 in 4 lines is very nice.
