Agree and also I think the main issue is that parts of the syntax are pointing to ideas that are not present in common languages, but which are essential in Rust. They aren't merely syntactical choices and can't be papered over or omitted. If you don't want to consider these concerns (like lifetimes) then it's probably not the language for you and changes in syntax won't help (much) there.
