> Because pretty much any other language has '...' for strings, or at least something to do with text. The ' aren't used in places where strings occur (strings just don't make sense there anyways), don't take up to much space (i.e. give more space to the name). I am not a Rust pro, but this has never been an issue for me, same for ! for macro expansions.
