Especially if it has a controversial title,

"Why rust is not a real programming language"

"It's a complete waste of time to learn C++ in 2020"

"Rust is 2x as fast as C++"

“Rust is a complete waste of time”

And then just point to an article about Rust the game.

Jokes aside, I love the name, the pun is nice, but man it makes searching a pain. I’ve ended up too many times in pages related to the game or to actual rust (as in iron).
