People that appreciate Rust's features can and do also appreciate a nice site - they're not mutually exclusive.

There is no such thing as "standard" async syntax unfortunately. The Rust language team is trying to find the optimal blend of ergonomics and consistency when there isn't a clear winner. It feels like pointless bike shedding to many, but a decision like how to handle strings has bifurcated the Python community for years.

This implies the old site wasn't nice. Which is not true. The old site isn't as pretty as the new one for sure, but it wasn't a bad site. It was straightforward.

Personally I don't like that the new website doesn't even display rust's syntax (what it looks like) on the homepage anymore.

> The old site isn't as pretty Wasn't it? It was clear, clean, had nice typography, didn't cause epileptic seizures when you scroll it. That's a way more than I can say about the new one.
