The 'real' motivation is simple -> an increased awareness of the 
benefits of Rust within the C++ community.

That is, C++ now has a genuine competitor -> and C++ now needs to 
compete, or risk losing market share.

So I expect we'll see a noticable increase in ideas and 
innovation coming out of the C++ community, particuly in areas 
where Rust does it better.

D should also remain alert to what's going on ;-)
