Have you gotten this impression from actually using Rust, or merely from people who themselves have not used Rust? It deliberately omits a ton of ideas from other programming languages (exceptions, classes, data inheritance, monads, and more), and the features it does have are intended to compose well and without a huge amount of mental burden.

Yep, it leaves out ideas that are no longer en vogue but has every idea that is currently en vogue. So in 20 years when those ideas are themselves thrown out, it will feel like a language of the 2010s.
