>Now obviously Rust works, and that's its point, and people love that enough to overcome all the ergonomic challenges the language puts up. What I can't wait for is Pythonic Rust where we have a language that treats humans as first class citiziens but offers the guarantees that Rust does.
Those guarantees in anything more than a hello world application are hard to achieve. When people say "i want extremely high performance and safety but I want it to be simple and guessing what Im doing" are asking for completely contradictory things and normally what you get out is something that leaves you up the creek the moment you are not following their ideal use case.

Much like the above. It'll work fine for hello world applications. Anything beyond that it will be much harder because the complexity comes in making an application coherent both internally and with the external systems it interacts with. Which is fine. Plenty of stuff nowadays can be abstracted.
