The lack of default/named function arguments is what still gets me. It's such an absolute basic programmer ergonomics feature shared by most popular languages; even C++ has had defaults since forever.

It would have been nice for Rust to have Default/named/optional function arguments because the proliferation of slightly differently named functions that do the same thing would go away.
