Rust is not particularly funny. It is C and C++ with some SML syntax. The one innovation in it is the borrow checker - making it somewhat dependent on the quality of the compiler and adding a bit of noise to syntax for exchange in predictability of the code - and the cargo packaging system, unusual for a statically typed fully compiled language.
