I like the convention. Even if you pick a word that isn't very common, you are still unlikely to be able to register a domain name for that word, and will have to amend it somehow, and search engines will still have to guess which use of the word you meant. Having a common convention simplifies searching for things, as opposed to having to type out "Rust Programming Language" every search.
