> There's nothing unreadable [...] it's just unfamiliar if you don't know Rust

Agreed. Note the same applies to Haskell's syntax :)

People confuse "readable" with "based in my knowledge of Java and C, I can't make head or tails of this notation without reading a tutorial first", which in my opinion is not a sensible conclusion.



It's not entirely sensible, but it is understandable. I don't think most programmers are truly aware of how much they know, and how deeply automatic their recognition of programming constructs has become.
