The original claim that the was responding to in this thread was that `return` as an expression didn't fit in well with Rust, and he said that it did. He also cited how far more things in Rust are expressions than statements, so it stands to reason that people who program in Rust are familiar with those styles of language. It sounds like you're arguing that it makes more sense to judge whether return makes sense as an expression in Rust based on the expectations of people who aren't as familiar with expression-based languages (and therefore aren't super familiar in Rust), which doesn't make a ton of sense to me.
