Do you think C has a better syntax compared to Rust? I'm honestly not sure about this. It surely heavily depends on your preferences, though. Generally speaking, what do you think?



It has a generally simpler syntax, except for function pointers and arrays, but I wouldn't call it "better". Comparing syntaxes of such different languages is pointless anyway. Syntax should serve semantics.


"Simpler" is the word that we care about. Although Rust is an advance on C in many significant ways, what it loses is the simplicity. One of our goals is to offer three same advances (and more) but without compromising on simplicity.
