Only someone with little to no experience in writing Rust could ever claim it's syntax is inelegant.
Rust's style is VERY different from C oder C++, not only due to it's unique rules but because it forces the programmer a lot to use what is commonly considered to be best practices (in a good way). A language that won't let you (easily) write crappy code isn't very approachable for juniors. But there is currently no more elegant language out there.

I'm sorry for this. Honesty, I had little experience with Rust. Grigory Petrov explained the moment about syntax in the comment
