What type annotations? In Rust almost all the types are inferred outside of function and struct declarations. In terms of type verbosity (in the code) it is roughly on the same level as TypeScript and Python.




I'm precisely referring to function and struct definitions. It's 10x worse when you add in async. 20x if you add in macros.

It's write only code, just like Perl but no where near as productive. Minor refactors become a game of Jenga.

This is not really a serious issue for any practicing Rust programmers.

They all have Stockholm syndrome then.

What's more likely: every single Rust programmer is wrong, or you're just not seeing the forest for the trees?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and so I don't mind saying rust is butt ugly.

That’s just, like, your opinion, man.
