I'm not enjoying Rust; I just believe it is currently better than 
D and has a better future.  As I stated in my previous posts, 
Rust does not have the modeling power of D.  D allows you to 
program the way you think, Rust requires you to change the way 
you think.  However, there are a few RFCs and issues that Rust is 
working through that could change that.  I don't see the same 
kind of progress and discussion happening in D... except today :-)

That being said, let me offer a counter-opinion that occurred to 
me some time ago.  Many embedded systems programmers are not 
software engineers; they are electrical engineers that write 
code.  A "better C" may be exactly what some of these types would 
like; I'm just not one of them.
