Rust already had a much more formidable competitor in C++. :P It would make no sense for Rust to bother competing directly with D, and likewise it would make no sense for D to bother competing directly with Rust. If you want market share, you have to pile on the leader rather than waste your energy cannibalizing the minnows.

More important than competing is to make it easy to call libraries written in one language from the other. extern(Rust) would be a nice addition to D.

Rust just needs to add extern(C++) like D has and then they can communicate.
