This may be true as some kind of rule of thumb, but it's not an axiom. In spite of its complexity, the most appealing thing about rust to me is that it very specifically allows me to write very very maintainable, very re-factorable code in ways very few other practical languages have. To me it is the language that learned from the experiments, and brings most of the safety promises of, for eg., haskell down to earth. It is also complex, and certainly does create a lot of opportunities to get lost in the weeds, but I have literally never trusted a compiler to help me write correct, safe, and reasonable code more than I do with rust.
