Very interesting to see the ML influences like ~ for unary minus, unscoped enums, mut on specific struct fields...

It seems like over time, a lot of that was replaced with C++-style syntax and semantics. Presumably to make the language appeal more to C++ devs

>>assbut+OOl
Rust looks nothing like C++.

It looks like Ruby.

The generics look like Java.

>>echelo+IVl
Other than the `|var|` syntax in closures, I can't think of a single way Rust looks like Ruby. I mean that seriously, there is almost no other similarities.

>>ninken+ehm
Don't forget expressions and block expressions, and all of the Ruby-esque syntax sugar around them. How expressions work with functional methods.

I write a lot of chains with block expressions that almost look 1:1 with Ruby.
