I find humor in the choice of “risp” given the obvious alternative.

Sorry, that name is reserved for the next step in the project - a parentheses-heavy input syntax for Rust, or more plausibly, for the simplified representation thereof known as MIR. Its biggest impact on the tech industry will actually be to significantly broaden the appeal of the Rust Evangelism Strike Force; indeed, it's expected that very few programs will ever be written in Lust, and that even the programs that are written in the language will be largely toy examples! But the overall effect has nevertheless been considered to be highly worthwhile, so the project will go forward.

eyes widen...nods -- ah, amazing name!

I'm partial to scheme.rs

[edit] Which apparently does exist: https://github.com/isamert/scheme.rs

I am positive someone would complain and ruin the fun for the vast majority of us normal people.
