Doesn't #1 matter less in Rust? C++ has to deal with backward compatibility in syntax, Rust doesn't.
Based on this article, immutable references are the most common kind of declarations. It seems to me that rust code would look much cleaner if they had the shortest syntax (including in pattern matching etc)
