I find the Rust complexity comment quite funny in a world where C++ and Perl 5 are around and they even managed to release Perl 6 :-)

Yes, that's almost 5 years ago now. But please note that since then, it has been renamed to Raku (https://raku.org using the #rakulang tag on social media). You can check out the Rakudo Weekly News (https://rakudoweekly.blog/blog-feed/) if you want to stay up-to-date on developments.

Do you have some sort of Perl 6 alert for HN? :-p

I know that it's been renamed, but I think you agree that it's still a very complex and powerful language.

It's logical to be concerned about complexity in a specific thing even if there are other complex things in the world. That should be self-evident.

Yeah, but his argument was directly coming from a C/C++ perspective, which makes it at least a bit... strange.

I was comparing directly against C. There's no such thing as "C/C++".
