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.

It would certainly be an interesting exercise. Does the mechanism for
creating a big-8 group still work? Or does it even still exist?
 

It does exist but junta is in charge so the level of bureaucracy must
be bypassed before anything can be done.

IMO newsgroups are dead; People with genuine questions are more likely
to use something called Google. Also YouTube is another place where
people are likely to find solutions to their programming questions.
