You are coming from the perspective of somebody with deep knowledge of the language. For somebody that never saw it, a short code sample say a lot.

I know this because the first Rust code I've seen was that short sample. But then, I completely understand if you desire to focus the site on people with experience on Rust.

I may have experience, but it wasn't me that decided this. It was also from talking to a lot of new people, and their reactions to various code samples.

It's not, actually! It's the opposite. However, the audience is not just pure programmers either, it's also people like CTOs, etc.
