I appreciate your view on scala and rust. I was around when scala became popular and wrote it in industry for a while. It wasn't a great time.
I think rust differs from scala in what it is trying to do. I also think rusts' complexity is backed by functionality that defines it's paradigm. Scala on the other hand has a few too many 'i think this would be nice to support' features in it that make it messy to deal with.
Rust imo isn't messy in that regard. Does scala still have it's place, sure. Does rust have it's place, yes.
Also if you read the posts on here, there's a lot less hype going for rust than the other way around. It's success isn't really due to it's hype, it's because people like what it does for them. Lots of people hate on it, usually baselessly.
