personally I just can't get over the syntax to even try rust. to me it just looks terrible. I know not everybody agrees though. that and having even longer compile times and no mature gui framework

IMO the syntax is fine except for the borrow checker shit that just looks arcane. The fact that everything cargo drags in is statically linked really turns me off the language for anything serious. It's really unfortunate because I'd otherwise put some time into learning it, but it seems like the rust foundation is fine with this (ridiculous IMO) workflow.
