I am not okay with it, which is why I never bothered to learn Rust. In my (caveat-filled) analysis of verbosity, Rust is on the wordier side of languages (abou

  Did you learn C? According to the chart you linked, C, C++, and Go are all more verbose than either Java or Rust.

    I did, being forced to in high school. I was never fond of it. Go is only a bit more verbose. Programs have a wide variability which is not graphed.

      So perhaps it isn't the verbosity per se of Rust that irks you so. That's fine. No one needs to learn or not learn any given tool.

        Being able to learn C doesn't mean C's wordiness didn't irk me. It did. In addition to verbosity, C bothered me with mandatory types, undefined behavior and having to manage memory myself. Rust is not much better. It still has types and memory management. A lot[1]. I don't want to deal with that. The computer should figure it out. Not having to specify all that also translates generally to shorter programs, and this is why I appreciate terseness.
