Hi,
rust seems to be a next generation language that's really worth it.
But I still see elements in the syntax that are just need- and
senseless and from the last century, like the semicolon an the end of
each command. What is this good for?!
What are parenthesis like "{" good for? They might make sense in
*some* cases, but it is nasty to make this elements to fix syntax
rules for every command or code block.
If you could remove this verbose syntax, it would be worth to call it
"next generation language" in a syntax way, too.
Thanks for the feedback. Syntax is a very personal issue, and one that
everybody has an opinion on. Both semicolons and, to a lesser extent,
braces in Rust have been debated many times.
