Gonna have to hard disagree here. Rust developers straight up opted for obscure, weird, idiosyncratic, non-self-explanitory syntax.

'?' doesn't mean anything like what it means in every other programming language, and it's everywhere. It is so frequently used that you get used to it pretty quick, but it is very not obvious to a beginner.

Obscure #[blah(blah)] attributes attached to nearly every line of code in some places. Do those have meaning? Are they just hints to the compiler? You'd better hit the docs to find out.

Do I need a &mut Option<Thing>, or an Option<&mut Thing>? And how do I get that out, as a `opt.as_ref().mut()`, `opt.as_ref_mut()`, or &mut *opt`? Are these valid? What's the difference? Idk, it's inscrutable.

Rust syntax really, really sucks my friend.
