This was a really good summary of what Rust feels like in my opinion. I’m still a beginner myself but I recognize what this article is saying very much.

The hacker news comments are as usual very good too:

    Well you could write code in a Ancient Greek if you want, but most people would go for English. :)

    I’ve found that some developers enjoy picking more difficult languages because it’s an intellectual challenge they enjoy, and that’s fine, but some also enjoy calling others stupid because they don’t enjoy the same things. That’s small dick energy. :)

      Are you responding to my comment or just speaking stream of consciousness?
