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.
