Well, I will stand by my opinion, but perhaps you misread what I meant. I
meant that as a whole Rust resembles more C++ than C. Technically it might
lie in between C and C++, but the amount of "features" certainly bring it
closer to C++. While it might be easier to write safer code in Rust than in
C++, I still think that its "weird" syntax and feature bloat make me
dislike it the way I dislike C++.

Just my .02. YMMV.
