Hello, rust-dev!
I have only recently discovered rust and haven't written anything
substantial in the language yet. I come from a background of python, so it
may seem natural that I lean towards a python syntax. Still, I have rarely
found myself using anything more complex than '{}', '{1}', or '{variable}'
in real life.
That said, my point is this: the would could one less formating syntax
instead of one more.
