> there's definitely some value in having the tooling be explorable and comprehensible to the line programmers. I think part of the reason Rust has been so popular in this niche is that it is pretty comprehensible to JavaScript/TypeScript/Python programmers. It's in any case much more approachable than C/C++ which would be the other alternative. The Rust build system also helps a lot too. (obviously performance is the main driver)
