Hmm yeah... I think I completely agree with this, the whole point of rust (for me) is safety and less surprises - the surprises tend to be misguided ergonomics.

Hmm yeah... I think I completely agree with this, the whole point of rust (for me) is safety and less surprises - the surprises tend to be misguided ergonomics. But is this a real danger now? Is the ergonomics initiative trying to make rust into JavaScript or Ruby? That would be unfortunate, languages should be different and the point of rust is sacrificing some ergonomic for safety and in the end more power...
