love it! the puns i would have recommended would have been based
on "iron oxide".

please bear in mind: under Trademark Law, as developers, you *must* not mak=
e
"announcements" saying "we *are* changing the name from rust to gust".
this creates "Confusion" for which you become directly and legally liable
and responsible.

*users* are permitted to go, "oh look, errr there's this thing called gust
and the source code compiles for rust".

just as with the Java Trademark, you as developers can say "gust is
compatible with
the rust language" but you *cannot* say "gust is compatible with rust".

Trademarks are a bitch.  get legal advice.
