I'd be a little interested to hear what you like about C++'s syntax! As a non-C++ programmer, I mostly think of the language as a pile of mistakes that kinda had to happen for other languages to learn from them, very much including syntax (ex. types preceding declarations, necessitating `auto` and complicating parsing) - and I actually think the ugliest parts of Rust copy those mistakes (ex. using <> for generics, which are ambiguous with less-than greater-than when used with no whitespace, necessitating the turbofish).

(I've heard plenty of complains about Rust syntax, so I'm less so interested in that than what C++ syntax gets right. Unless it's just a familiarity thing...)
