Yes, indeed Rust language is cited on the references section.

That's good to know, During the research phase it became obvious that a
majority part of the user base would like to have a shorthand syntax for
use declarations.

We tried other syntaxes and this one seemed the most appropriate because:

a) Looks a lot like the already implemented traits conflict resolution
b) Doesn't require to reserve new keywords
c) It requires a minimal implementation and is easy to read and parse

FYI, suggestions for alternatives are still welcome. But I really hope you
end up liking the current proposal even more.

Thanks.
