syntax is not weird at all. it is ML-ish.
oh. I didn't know..
in any case, ML syntax is even weirder ;-)
Since a large portion of programmers ( I assume) are familiar
more or less with the syntax of C,C++,Java,C#, I cannot
understand why Rust chose to go down a completely different path
with their syntax.
Familiar syntax is really important, especially as I swap between
those langauges that I just mentioned..alot.
Rust is out, for me, simply because I don't want to be confused
by their weird syntax everytime I go from one language to the
next. With D, I can switch constantly from it to C, without
incurring any syntax induced psychological trauma.
