To someone with only a passing interest, but a real interest nonetheless, D's position in the spotlight is a lot more comfortable than what's going on with rust. After a while, the way every thread about c, c++, systems programming, or operating systems draws the same predictable rust comments feels like being assaulted by a lunatic wielding a cheese grater.

I've seen this phenomenon called 'Rustwins law' as it bears striking similarities to Godwin's law in its inevitability.

If the law suggests that Rust wins, I'm sure the Rust community will not strenuously object.

If it's going to match Godwin's Law, then whoever mentions Rust automatically loses the argument...

Godwin's law isn't about losing the argument. It's just an observation that national socialism is going to be mentioned in the limit as the conversation grows without end.
