[Note: Followup-To: set to news.groups.proposals]
I'd like to open informal discussion around possibly creating a
new newsgroup, comp.lang.rust, for discussion of the Rust
programming language (https://rust-lang.org/). Rust is a
compiled, type- and memory- safe language that has been in open
development since 2010, and is rapidly gaining adoption in
industry and research. It often comes up in discussions related
to C and C++, but no existing group is dedicated to it.
Thoughts?

There is a newsgroup for rust already, alt.comp.lang.rust, that is not
very active at all. The reddit rust group is fairly active comparatively.

Hmm, I didn't know about that until it came up in this
discussion: my provider doesn't seem to carry it.

It is. That, and Zulip, are the main ways that folks in the
community communicate. Neither is USENET, however.

News.eternal-september.org carries the alt.* groups.

That's only one, of many, servers and not everyone uses it; I
don't, for example. And as I said, my provider doesn't carry
that group, despite carrying some of alt.*.
It occurs to me that the existence of alt groups for similar
topics is a weak reason not to create a big 8 group, because of
the more limited reach.
