This always happens with whatever language is in vogue at the time. Now it’s Rust. It used to be Go (which still has a little juice left). Before that, Closure and Haskell both had runs. And before that… hell, I remember when Java was talked about this way.

This is the natural order of things and is good.

And the proper term for introducing Rust should be “oxidation”.
