Contrast Rust with JavaScript. It is so very easy to get started with. Then come compilers and transpilers, different ways of importing, bundling, packaging, and consuming, all the ways those things mix and interact, myriad "magic" hacks your dependencies are doing behind the scenes to monkey-patch the environment, global APIs, and even other dependencies. It's like building on top of a pile of rubble, piled over more layers of rubble, riddled every which way with critical electrical and water lines. It can be an unmitigated hellscape.
