Disclaimer: I don't know Rust beyond println!("Hello World"); C is my preferred language for decades now.

The example Rust code in that linked post is just an absolute unreadable horror show. If that's representative of what it's really like to interop C with Rust or just write real Rust code in general, I'm strongly discouraged from bothering to put more effort into the language.

Can anyone skilled and experienced enough with Rust to judge what's going on there comment? Is the author just a noob making a mess of things as anyone can do in any language, or is this limited to C interop? Or is Rust normally such an inscrutably verbose disaster?
