You are right that some problems remain. The Rust compiler team is working on speeding up build times as we speak. Give it some time. If a language was perfect in other respects (e.g. free of memory leaks), I won't mind waiting a little longer for my builds, but I know this bothers many. In any case, it's being looked into. The complexity argument I agree. Rust won't be the last language for that reason. Already it influences languages like Zig and Jakt, who aspire to be simpler and still suitable for systems programming. I disagree re: ugly syntax, but that's a matter of taste.
