Looks pretty boring/conventional to me. If you know many 
programming languages you immediately recognize "let" as a common 
keyword for assignment. That keyword is older than me and I am 
old (by Silicon Valley standards).

That leaves only the funny sounding "mut" as slightly unusual. It 
is the result of making immutable the default which I think is a 
good decision.

It is horribly abbreviated but the vast majority of programmers 
who know what a cache miss is seem to prefer such abbreviations 
(I am not part of that majority, though). I mean C gave us 
classics like "atoi".. still reminds me of "ahoi" every time I 
read it. And I will never get over C++'s "cout" and "cin". See? 
Rust makes C/C++ damaged people feel right at home even there ;P
