Aside from async/await which I agree is somewhat janky syntaxtically, I'm curious what you consider to be janky. I think Rust is overall pretty nice to read and write. Patterns show up where you want them, type inference is somewhat limited but still useful. Literals are readily available. UFCS is really elegant. I could go on.
Ironically, I find Python syntax frustrating. Imports and list comprehensions read half backwards, variable bindings escape scope, dunder functions, doc comments inside the function, etc.
