Rust is a curly-brace, block-structured statement language. It visually resembles the C language family, but differs significantly in syntactic and semantic details.
I'm not a programming language buff, but why curly-braces and C-style still in 2010?
1) space significant (Python, Esterel) 2) braces or other one character delimiters 3) begin/end or other word delimiters
I find 3) very noisy and while I like 1) (even though I dislike Python), I find that 2) is a pretty good compromise, one where I don't find myself having to visually parse classes ending in "end end end end end".
Plus some languages, such as Haskell, allow for both braces and significant indentation, with the language culture encouraging responsible usage.
+ is sooooooooooo 1600s, we should restandardize with ʮ for addition so that + strictly applies to string concatenation...
