Rust's syntax dooms it to the same niche as Haskell.
They'd have been better off to go with XML. I think the
developers got comfortable with the syntax as they went
along, and they have no idea just how ugly it is.
Maybe let Apple (Swift) and Microsoft (F#, F*, Haskell, OCaml)
know about it.
I'm not sure what you're saying. Apple and Microsoft are
responsible for Rust's syntax?
All those languages are based in the ML syntax.
Which means many do find such syntax pleasant and it is being
adopted by companies with major impact in the industry.
