alt.comp.lang.rust already exists, and has low traffic (56 articles
since 2022).  I see a post there from 2023-09-21, subject "Soon
comp.lang.rust", about an earlier attempt to create comp.lang.rust.
It looks like that effort didn't go anywhere.

I like the idea of a comp.lang.rust newsgroup, and I'll subscribe to
it if it's created.  But I'm not convinced it would be successful,
and I won't have much to contribute myself.

Creating it would have been obvious back in Usenet's heyday.
Today -- well, it couldn't hurt.
