This is actually one of my few gripes with Rust. I see lots of code that starts to resemble what I call "cryptosyntax" (also a feature of C++).

In this regard, Ada explicitly had maintainability as a design requirement, and I wonder how well Rust will fare with its concise, symbol-heavy code in that regard.

More specifically, "readability" was the sub-goal that fell under. People were thinking about use as pseudo-code in those days as well.
