Rust is one of the greatest new mainstream languages.
But what they do with semicolons is pure brain damage. Having different complex semantics encoded purely in semicolons is nuts imho. I don't get how someone could create such mess in an otherwise mostly quite sane language.
Especially as semicolons are an archaic artifact that shouldn't be used for mostly anything in a modern language, imho, as it's just useless noise (besides when writing some well readable one-liners of course ;-)).
