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.
