Why, then, is Rust called "Rust"? "C++" was chosen to signal

This thread is absurd and leads nowhere.
Rust has its own name, they don't have to follow any idea.
D has chosen to use the naming scheme of C and as such it should
be honest and use D++ because that's what D is: An expanded
version of the former language.
