The article only provided one small example, and the code is not really that ugly. There are many third-party projects/libs that exposes way more ugly APIs, specially those which heavily utilize generics and `where`s. These things, while small and can be improved individually, wears programmers down quickly. The syntax design of Rust is adding to the situations as well. For example, Rust is probably the only language that makes me cautious about the usage of semicolon, as you might have loads of unsound problems if you misused one. My experience with Rust has been generally great, but I think these small details really deserves some thoughts from the Rust team. BTW: I also wouldn't really trust those people who have to navigate through all the quirks of something, and then calling their experience "Great". There are people who memorized the entire `:help` book of `vim`, just so they can use the editor at hyperspeed instead of lightspeed. Those people are monsters, they can eat RAM chips and then spit out the bits cache line by cache line. You give them a grab of sand, they'll make a computer out of it and play DOOM on the computer. So of course those people well have great experience on almost everything (Or they just been polite, like me)
