I'm a C programmer who switched to Rust. Rust is complex because it's powerful. C++ is complex because it's a mashup of overlapping features from different eras. I don't write C++, because whatever I write will crash for subtle reasons and I'll be told it's my fault, because of course you don't do this when you use that feature. I can write Rust with all its complexity, and as long as I get it to compile, I'm confident it works more reliably than any C++ that I could have written.
