> Something something = new Something () is usually a smell to me. var something = new Something() ... this one in C# is probably using type inference? Or maybe it doesn't matter in C# because it has a dynamic type anyways? Yes, Rust permits type inference but sometimes it can't infer it and you have to specify it. And sometimes it's clearer to be explicit about the type. C++ permits it too (auto) but depending on the team it can be pretty unpopular except for maybe verbose type names/iterator types, etc.
