Comparing Rust and D As Better C

[Dibyendu Majumdar]

I am working on porting a C project to Rust and Better C in order 
to get a real world idea of what the differences are.

First impressions of Rust vs D As Better C:

Rust has traits - nothing equivalent in the D As Better C subset.
Another difference is Rust has enumerated types - with D a 
library solution is possible.
Rust appears to have a good tooling in VS Code with pretty good 
IDE that gives you hints, flags errors as you type code, and 
allows you to lookup docs.

I suspect porting the code to D subset will be trivial. Porting 
to Rust is at the moment a challenging task (I am trying to 
replicate the C code as much as possible, including writing 
allocators etc.)

I suspect this project will take some time to complete, but I 
hope to share more comparisons of code etc.
