Welcome to Programmer Humor!
This is a place where you can post jokes, memes, humor, etc. related to programming!
For sharing awful code theres also Programming Horror.
Rust has actually quite a good record with depreciation and backwards-compatibilty etc. They are changing the language in non-backwards compatible way over editions, but the changes are mostly very manageable.
But to not end up being another C++ (syntax-wise it's a disaster IMHO), a few non-backwards-compatible changes every few years are the way to go, when it's manageable.
What's so confusing about C++ syntax exactly? To me it seems to make a lot of sense given the languages history.
