  • You can, of course. And if you’re good enough at it, and focus on keeping it simple, you can keep the complexity down to a minimum, at least with most straightforward programs.

    Buut you can say the same about other complicated languages like c++. And things like writing quick “shell script” type things are going to be pretty simple in almost every decent language. Even if the result is slightly more verbose it won’t really matter.

    eh, I’d say rust’s problem is more that it’s marketed as a general-purpose language, when in reality it is rare for software to need a language that is both very highly performant and memory safe, and rust makes heavy sacrifices in terms of complexity to achieve that. Most popular languages are garbage collected which can cause performance problems, but makes code much simpler to read and write.
