> Well, you have to choose modifiers at the end of the day. Rust is actually pretty sane in this regard - just look at Scala for a comparison.
Uh? Could you give an example of what you're talking about?
I'm not using Scala but last time I looked its syntax was much,much better than Rust "syntax".

Nobody writes it that way, there's a reason why one is allowed to omit the . and the (). Also, you've confused ::: and ::.
qsort(rest) ::: pivot :: qsort(smaller)
I don't think this looks too bad.

Yeah, I know, people confuse + and ++ in C all the time. Oh wait: they don't!

Indeed, the difference is crystal-clear. But, for some odd reason, it reminds me of Brainfuck and Whitespace.

Yawn. Those stopped being funny like 10 years ago.
