> I suggest looking at accidental complexity first. We should make it explicit instead of using languages and tools that increasingly hide it.
The languages that hide accidental complexity to the greatest extent are very high level, dynamic, "managed" languages, often with a scripting-like, REPL-focused workflow. Rust is not really one of those. It's perfectly possible to write Rust code that's just as simple as old-school FORTRAN or C, if the problem being solved is conducive to that approach.
