The gist of Rust on this fairly easy, is the heritage/chasing of C++ that makes Rust complicated.

A "Rust simple like pascal/c" have potential and I bet 1 billon the borrow checker will not make it hard to use (check https://vale.dev)

This has been tried, see Cyclone. It was a lot less practically usable than modern Rust.
