@laurel @mima I don't really consider it a choice. Some stuff I work with is written in rust, so I sometimes read rust.
I'd rather python but most people never got the memo that python is actually good if you don't run the default interpreter. (Which I do anyway :^) )
I'd agree that PHP is easier to read than rust. Not assembly though; since I think rust's syntax was basically "hey I really like assembly but I also really like java let's make our syntax like both of those".
