Not disagreeing with you, though I'd say Rust syntax also feels very hard to understand most of the time. I think function signatures is something that I distinctly remember getting very complicated sometimes.
Which is unfortunate, as I like the principles behind it. I wonder if someone will ever write a Rust-like language that has a syntax closer to Java or Haxe.
- marcosdumay 2y agoOh, Rust type signatures are harder to use than even Haskell. But that's because there are a lot of low level detail that must go into them. Most of the complexity that C developers tend to ignore (and create wrong programs) goes there, explicitly. If you don't want the detail, you can make them simpler. That said, I have a long rant about how Haskell-like types ignore the entire "algebra" thing from algebraic types, and could be way more expressive and simpler to use.
