Two Weeks of Rust

Nice to see rust getting along. Coming from C and C++ is really dig the new ideas for better and more save low level languages.

What really bugs me, is what the author describes as being'concise'. Shortcuts like fn, pub or vec, in my oppinion, hurt readability more than they help me to write code faster. But maybe thats just my brain, or lack of time using rust.

As far as I understand, the length of keywords and common identifiers is roughly proportional to the reciprocal of frequency. `fn` and `pub` are used a lot; `return` is less used (Rust returns the last expression by default); `continue` is even less so, and it's familiar to C/C++ programmers.

thanks a lot for the info. I can perfectly see the reasoning behind it. Still, i find it harder to read. But as i said, that can be a lack of practice.
