Cursed Rust

I don't know if it's due to my familiarity with Rust, but I find none of the examples cursed or surprising, except the "&* is useful" one. Even for that one, I think the use case of "turning a raw pointer to a reference" actually requires unsafe, and so it's imo a bit misleading to omit that fact.

All this is unlike a language i work with in my day job (and hence one would expect that I'd not find surprising), and yet I find so much behavior utterly baffling: https://dev.to/ben/what-is-the-oddest-javascript-behavior-4d...

In Rust, if expressions are not place expressions. In the example, arr_ref is a reference to a temporary, not to an array element. In Rust, it is possible to take an address of any expression, but taking an address of a value expression will produce an address of a temporary.

#00F on black is really not a color combination anybody should use in any case where accessability matters.
