Major pet peeve... > Let's look at a brief example to get familiar with syntax: Followed by no explanation, nor is there a target audience laid out in the article. Now I'm left simply thinking it's a terrible article because it's starts with a poor explanation targeted at anyone. If it started with "if you're familiar with C++/go/c#/whatever then this syntax should appear familiar", then I would have quietly closed the article. Unfortunately my impression of the article is poor, and continues to be poor of the rust community because of constantly putting out content with this style of hand wavy introduction that makes outsiders feel more alienated. At least haskellers (of which I am not one) manage to be aware of this trope in their own community.
