I think the trade off you often get with Rust compared to C++ is that easy things get harder to do and harder things get easier to do correctly. This won't be true for every problem or person but I think it's a fine rule of thumb. Python is a lot more straightforward than either for most problems of any complexity but of course you don't get the same performance potential where you're not grafting it onto a different language.
