Of course. In the small field of audio, I still haven't seen a 
single competitive Rust product, despite a lot more ecosystem 
work from people. And D is super niche there, it's all C++ except 
formerly FLStudio and Bitwig maybe (the two best DAWs were NOT 
made with C++).

Ironically, Rust not having a lot of support for classical 
inheritance means people have been building libraries and 
framework that lacks that essential implementation-hiding 
subtyping, meaning a creep up of complexity from their subtypes. 
But building and agreeing on abstractions is what define the 
ecosystem.
