Were you trying to post examples of it being easy or do you actually find those hard?

I find the C type syntax turgid. It’s fine for the most basic types, but the name-in-the-middle style doesn’t scale at all, and it’s not hard to understand why later languages separate name and type, no matter which side of the name the type goes on. I find Rust easier to read in that regard, even though picking <> for generics was likely done to be familiar for C++/Java types rather than easy to parse. (See also: the bastion of the turbofish)

This is why you don’t write C, after a while this looks normal and sane
