I thought C++ has become what happens when you let programmers design a
language by committee. I think the best languages have only a couple of
people in charge.

Yeah, Rust is an interesting and evolving language, which makes it a
bold decision to allow use at a systems level.
I came to .NET via C++ in the early '00s and still use it occasionally
but C++ is almost unrecognisable from those days. So I thought I'd have
a play around with Rust instead

I ran into some uni student Rust fans at a Meetup a few years ago. I was
prompted by their enthusiasm to take my tablet to bed and read through the
language Reference
I was doing some reading last night about Rust - https://www.rust-lang.org/
- mainly prompted by the fact that Linus Torvalds has now said that they
will introduce Rust code into the Linux kernel. It will be interesting to
see how this progresses - I've never heard of anyone doing kernel/device
