Thanks for sharing your perspective. I think, broadly speaking, that code maintenance is no fun. Thus, languages with a huge existing code base are often dreaded (Java, C++).
Rust profits from "rewrite it in Rust", since it is more fun. But so does Zig.
Still, I am worried about the ecosystem, since every time I pull a bigger crate through cargo, I have to think of npm and the sad state of JS ecosystem. Also, I have a small, rewrite from python project at work and I am also worried whether it will be easy to upgrade in 2, 3, 5 years? If I write it in Java, it certainly will...
Fully agree on readability. It is not that Rust is unreadable, but a lot can happen in the background and you have to look hard for small sigils, presence of semicolons and blocks.
