Care to explain the obvious, then? Rust is quite a lot nicer to write than C++ in my experience (and in fact, it seems like rust is most attractive to people who were already writing C++: people who still prefer C are a lot less likely to like Rust).

There is nothing attractive about c++ or rust, I really don't understand how anyone can think so, it has to be some sort of Stockholm syndrome. Think about it, before you started programming what about your experiences would make you appreciate the syntax soup of rust and c++?

I dunno, there's not much about my previous experience that would indicate much one way or the other. I have found, though, that I tend to prefer slightly denser, heterogeneous code and syntax than average. Low-syntax languages like Haskell and Lisps make my head hurt because the code is so formless it becomes hard for me to parse, while languages with more syntax and symbols are easier (though, there is a limit, APL,k, etc, are a little far I find)
