Hmmm, I guess that's true. I don't really know a lot about
Rust. Their safety story just sounds way more convincing and
believable than D's. It would probably be the first language
I'd look into if I was interested in low level safety critical
code.
The power of having plenty of money to pay for (viral) marketing.
Or in short: Propaganda.
Rust is a good PL, but in practice it isn't significantly safer
than @safe D in my experience.
And you pay for that small difference dearly with productivity
decrease (even after becoming comfortable with the borrow checker
system).
