"but it has basically no effect on quality of the code" well if you include number of bugs of certain class as a criteria of quality it would be pretty hard to argue that there is no difference between say Rust and C.
- F-0X 7y agoI think C has better syntax than Rust, by miles. Rust's syntax is the bastard child of C++ and OCaml and is more than the sum of its parts. Rust code having fewer bugs has absolutely nothing to do with its syntax.

- brutt 7y agoAfter 3 years Rust and 20 years of C, syntax of C and C-like languages (C++, Java) looks awkward to me, because in C I need to write more code to get uglier result.
- ncmncm 7y agoI have coded C since 1984, and C++ since 1988. I found Rust syntax extremely easy to switch to, but I found switching back to C++ syntax extremely difficult. Do not learn Rust if you think you might need to code C++ or C ever again. Rust probably should have used "." in place of ";". Or anything, really.
