So far, as near as I can tell, the only person who's actually
engaged with the proposal was Tim Rentsch, who responded in
in comp.programming that he was in favor of comp.lang.rust.

A small note of explanation...

One, I have a rule not to post in newsgroups I don't read.
That's why I chose from among the newsgroups where I saw the
original posting as a group in which to post a response.

Two, in most cases I think giving multiple newsgroups on a single
message hurts more than it helps, and I almost never do so.
(Also I have no interest in debating the question;  if someone
has a different view, that's fine, but there is no point in
starting an argument about it.)

Three, I responded in the newsgroup that IMO has the best
impedance match to the question asked, and had every confidence
that Dan would carry my input to wherever it is most needed (and
clearly that confidence is justified).
