Thanks, that is interesting. I mentioned Rust because of its broader use and apparent growth trajectory. Ie, to have the likeliest most uses in the most places, with minimal re-learning of a new language to work on a new codebase. Or to increase the odds when possible, at least (scripting but also Linux kernel use, etc). I will keep D more in mind though...is it on openbsd? (Edit: I see it is probably at least there via gcc, at least.)
