A comment on Why did we choose Rust to develop TiKV?. Parent comment
Can be fixed without syntax change other than returning void.
> The precedence for the binary operators is wonky
But that's the precedence everyone is accustomed with. D enhance this by forbidding some non-parenthesized dangerous expressions.
> Optional braces in if statements make the grammar ambiguous and is also bug prone (the infamous Apple goto bug)
I've definately seen such bugs.
> The type-declaration syntax is convoluted and people need tools like cdecl to understand the more tricky ones.
This is fixed in languages that still feel C-like in syntax.
> The cast syntax is ambiguous and resolving this ambiguity relies on adding dirty hacks to the lexer to tell the parser about type names.
Yup.
