Careful now, you'll get accused of being in the Rust Hype Squad. Snark aside, this is what Rust proponents like myself have been trying to say. Rust isn't some magical panacea to all of the problems we face in computing, but it does solve some frustrating and endemic problems outright while making others significantly more tractable. And that it manages to do so without sacrificing execution performance (though at a generally reasonable cost in compilation times) and keeping code complexity more manageable than equivalent C/C++ code is just icing on the cake. What the language adds in complexity—in my experience at least—reduces the complexity of my own programs and makes it much simpler to write them and reason about them. There's definitely a learning curve as the language "wants" you to structure programs a certain way while it takes time to build up the intuition for doing so. But having done that, I've been able to apply those lessons to my projects in other languages to great success.
