Yes! After a bit of playing around, I can follow Rust reasonably well... but only with an IDE, which I've never used for C or even really for the bits of Java I wrote. I understand that many more experienced Rust developers are similarly IDE-reliant.

I do think it's a deliberate tradeoff, having e.g. .push() do something useful for quite a few similar (Vec-like) data structures means you can often refactor Rust code to a similar data structure by changing one line... but it certainly doesn't make things as grep-friendly as C.
