I agree. The Rust foundation (or Mozilla's Rust Team in the early stages) tried out a sigil heavy approach in the beginning, but they ultimately made the decision to steer Rust away from being overloaded with single character keywords of differing significance.

Sadly, with Steve Klabnik's withdrawal from the core Team, the current maintainers are on a path to repeat these mistakes.

Yes and no.

A good example would be the behavior of the tilde operator. Another would be the current drafting process of keyword generics.
