I think Rust's "pub", "priv" and "fn" are just silly. But I don't mind
"mut". However it might've been nicer if you didn't have to write "let mut"
but just "mut".
What made Rust a no-go for me was when I tried to write a generic sort. I
still can't figure out how to swap two elements in an array ("vector"). The
implementation in their std lib for "swap" has an unsafe block... (And I
don't want a GC or RC requirement for the array.)
