Maybe they're confusing the literal name with the language? Idk.

I grew up on Perl and holy fuck... Rust is fine.

I'm learning Perl - purely for fun - and yeah... it's a little funky.

Perl is ugly but great. It's like shell scripting with a more solid programming language. I'd never use it outside of simple scripts in my os, but whenever I do use it it's very fun. Anyway, yeah, rust looks fine to me. Maybe they are not very experienced with it? I know some of my programs used to have lines with just x.unwrap().unwrap().unwrap() or whatever, which is not pretty.
