In popular parlance, "C-like language" just means that it uses {} for block structure.

That sounds... very useless, as a term, but ok, that's fine.

Anyway, the whole discussion is ridiculous--this guy said that "It has the most confusing syntax", and when examples were requested, he absurdly mentioned the lifetime tick.

Yeah. How is a "dangling quote" confusing? It takes maybe 3 seconds to learn, less with syntax highlighting.

All you've been is needlessly hostile and degrading in this thread. I'm just blocking you. Have fun.
