 &lt;p>No one knows how this all started. Self-proclaimed prophets of the impending doom have warned about this for a long time, yet no one has listened. The elites were ignorant, and now they&amp;rsquo;re paying their price. They are all gone now, having been the first target. How ironic. Now the machine runs the world.&lt;/p>
 &lt;p>One particularly brave human agent has successfully infiltrated the global computation center, where the core of the machine lives. No one seems to be aware of it, neither the machine nor the other humans. They walk through the corridors like a shadow. Machines are everywhere, but they pass unnoticed. As they move towards the core, they get more tense. The future of humanity lies in the agent&amp;rsquo;s hands. They get in front of the core. It lights up blue and red, blinking rapidly as it controls and schedules new cruelty with the switch of a logic gate. With every passing moment, more destruction is unleashed on the world, but in this room, everything feels safe. The destruction is so distant. There&amp;rsquo;s just mankind and machine, facing off against each other.&lt;/p>

 were inconclusive. (At the time of writing, only regex-syntax, tokio, and syn have been benchmarked.) regex-syntax showed no changes. Tokio showed a few improvements without noalias
 which is very weird, so maybe the benchmarks aren&amp;rsquo;t really good or something else was going on. And syn tended towards minor regressions without noalias, but the benchmarks had high
 jitter so no real conclusion can be reached from this either, at least in my eyes, but I don&amp;rsquo;t have a lot of experience with benchmarks. Therefore, I would love for more people
