I'm in favor of the chosen syntax, but I was unaware of the poll, so I'm not sure that's a good representation of Rust users.

  Part of that is because the polls weren't made by the team; it was random other users. We don't vote in Rust, and polls have so many problems that we don't use them as a method to evaluate answers to questions.

    So this decision is purely on the team - no saying "we took input from others and didn't do completely what we wanted to do.' In that case, you as a team basically saying that you were afraid of punctuation was intellectually shallow, lazy, and a terrible decision. It wasn't like a tailing @ or # would have turned rust into APL. You should go back and revision the `?` decision then under the same reasoning.
