I have found Rust syntax a breath of fresh air as compared with C/C++ and I was doing c/C++ for over 15 years before I started with Rust. No arbitrary semicolons, everything is an expression leading to more concise code, no need to worry about the interior layout and excess padding of a struct, function declarations that are trivial to read, magical inference all over the place, variable shadowing that’s actually safe, etc etc. traits that let you duck type behavior in a 0 overhead way elegantly. A proper macro system. No weird language rules about having to know the informal rule of 0/5 or failing to manage resources or code that fails to manage resources in an exceptional safe way.

It’s alien and unfamiliar, but I actually don’t have problems with the syntax itself. Swift has the “everything is an expression” property. Python’s list comprehension felt weird and confusing the first time I encountered it. Typescript (&Go) has traits after a fashion. In fact Go syntax I find particularly ugly even though it’s “simpler”
