Not OP but the syntax is off-puting for me, it's simply difficult to read. I can parse and read all C/C++/TypeScript/Java/C# code with ease, it all makes sense

I can parse and read all C/C++/TypeScript/Java/C# code with ease, it all makes sense and reads like poetry. Rust's syntax is just ugly, I have a visceral unpleasant feeling sort-of like when I have to read Perl code or (to a lesser degree) Objective-C.
- ribadeo 2y agoYou don't like the turbofish?
- rcxdude 2y agolifetime annotations seem to be the biggest yuck for most people, given it's the most un-C++ like syntax (and single-quotes are always balanced in most languages).
- rightbyte 2y agoSingle quotes are not balanced in GNU Octave or Lisps. I have never seen that as a critique of those.
- rcxdude 2y agoI think they have more obvious syntax complaints (from the perspective of the C-syntax language developer), to be fair
- bmicraft 2y agoThat's what's always tripped me up learning VHDL. I still don't really like it.
