However the GStreamer folk are backing Rust (for memory safety
issues noted earlier) so even though D has a GStreamer binding
(thanks to Mike and GtkD) I more or less have to use Rust
because it is the official binding. Comparing and contrasting D
and Rust is interesting for me. Both have many pluses and many
minuses. However, in the end, the GStreamer core people know C,
C++ a bit, D not at all. I suspect even if the choice had been
Rust or D, Rust would have been chosen because it has no GC and
D is a GC language.
Not only GStreamer, Rust is on its way to become an offical GNOME
language, and who knows, eventually take over Vala's role.
