Definitely not your average Rust code, more like a very ugly example of it.
Also, as the syntax first put me off as well, I gave it a chance years afterwards, and have now (or rather years ago) officially joined the church of Rust evangelism.
A lot of the syntax you define as ugly makes sense when you learn it, it's just so much more explicit than a more dynamic language, but that exactly saves your ass a lot (it did for me at the very least) (I don't mean macros, macros are ugly and should be avoided if possible)
