Rust as an example of good syntax, seriously? I don't know Rust but when I see examples they're not especially readable..

That said system languages have a disadvantage, they can't even concatenate two strings 'simply'.

As a long-time Rust programmer, I agree that the syntax is not the most readable around.

That being said, string concatenation is only marginally related to syntax. It's a matter of semantics, which go much deeper. There is a very good reason for which string concatenation isn't simpler in Rust.
