Rust and D

[bearophile]

Most comparisons between Go and D on Reddit aren't good, but this 
time there is an almost decent comparison between D and Rust:

I think the most direct competitor of D is going to become Rust 
(beside of course C# and C++), because Go has different enough 
purposes.


 From the thread I have also learnt that some months ago they have 
removed typestate from Rust, because it doesn't pull its weight, 
as Andrei says (I think Rust was the first serious attempt at 
using this language feature, and now it will be hard to see 
another language with it):
