Instead of asking "what other languages and project (open/closed, big/small, web/mobile/desktop, game/consumerapp/bizapp) have you experience with as to come to this conclusion?" people down vote you.
So lemme ask: what other languages and project (open/closed, big/small, web/mobile/desktop, game/consumerapp/bizapp) have you experience with as to come to this conclusion?

I expect the downvotes to be there because it's talking positively about rust, which is blasphemy! /j
I'm guessing a lot of any perception of a lack of comments or documentation in a rust codebase comes down to how new or green a developer is to rust.
If you're just starting out or doing something relatively simple, your goal is to get something working. This is so true regardless of the language.
I've never looked at any Rust. But this mini thread leaves me expecting the Rust world to be like Perl. The experienced Rust/Perl user uses every feature and short cut for magnificently dense expressive (alt. incomprehensible gibberish to anyone else) and doesn't comment it because the code is self evident. When actually they just want to code wank showing how clever they are and how lazy anyone else is if they haven't take the time to understand the details and thus understand.
But like I said, I've not looked at any Rust despite its marketing success.
