- Dewie 12y agoThose academia people love themselves some horrible syntax. /s
- lucian1900 12y agoArguably that is either wrong or depends on taste. Haskell has very little syntax in comparison to something like C or Python and what little is has is very obvious. I'd much prefer ML/Haskell-ish syntax in Rust, but I know I'm in a minority.
- Symmetry 12y agoI agree with you, but Rust is mostly targeted at C++ developers so it makes sense that they'd use C++isms where they it wasn't crazy. Examples of crazy being resource declaration mirroring use.
