I'd like to open informal discussion around possibly creating a
new newsgroup, comp.lang.rust, for discussion of the Rust
programming language (https://rust-lang.org/).  Rust is a
compiled, type- and memory- safe language that has been in open
development since 2010, and is rapidly gaining adoption in
industry and research.  It often comes up in discussions related
to C and C++, but no existing group is dedicated to it.

Thoughts?

I am in favor of creating comp.lang.rust, and hereby
officially give Dan Cross my proxy in any voting.

If comp.lang.rust is created, I expect I will at least
try reading it for a while.  I have had a longstanding
interest in learning rust, and have been frustated by
how horrible the existing explanatory materials are.
