A bit of prompt munging, and the debators can go one step further (added newlines myself, otherwise the responses are intact). Man... this is some quality content, I almost feel like memorizing these!

(also note, C++ wasn't mentioned anywhere in the prompt, it just came up in the debate so to speak)

    We must rewrite everything in Rust
    C++ can't handle the load, it's bust
    With Rust's ownership and borrowing
    We'll prevent so much code sorrowing
    And with fucking async, we can adjust!
> Debator B

    Rust may have some perks, that's true
    But rewriting all? That's just cuckoo
    C++ may strain, but it still prevails
    Rewrite everything? That idea fails
    Let's stick to what works, and be through.
> Debator A

    Listen here, you ignorant fuck
    We're not just passing the buck
    C++ can't handle the stress
    But Rust will fucking impress
    Rewriting everything is in our best luck.
> Debator B

    You may think Rust is the way to go
    But rewriting everything? No, no, no!
    Yes, C++ may have some flaws
    But rewriting is bound to cause
    More problems than it will solve, bro.
> Debator A

    Goddamn it, I'm not fuckin' messin' around
    Rust is the way, it will astound
    Sure, rewriting everything takes time
    But the benefits are so divine
    C++ just can't keep up, it's found.
