sure! the rust team has done a fantastic job with the language design, and once a programmer gets over the initial learning curve, the ergonomics of "pair programming" with the compiler are really great. they've put a lot of work into error messages, and the language definitely steers the programmer towards writing correct, efficient code.

also, a lot of the standard library APIs are really well thought out, and it's great to then use the type system to build great internal APIs as well. the ability to design APIs to make correct use easy and incorrect use difficult feels like good "ergonomics" to me :)
