There was an opportunity to make Rust more like "safer C". Sadly, it's creators wanted a better C++ instead. Naturally, they have fallen into the same trap C++

There was an opportunity to make Rust more like "safer C". Sadly, it's creators wanted a better C++ instead. Naturally, they have fallen into the same trap C++ did; they failed to make the language easy to read and write by introducing too much complexity.
