> I am hopeful that languages like Mojo and Val are going to find cleaner ways of doing what Rust does best, and that Rust can learn from them. I suspect they'll be great for a subset of the things that makes Rust great. There's probably a bunch of essential complexity that can't be hand waved around via a "smarter compiler" at least at this point in time (I'm not saying Rust is as simple as it could be, but I suspect there's no order of magnitude improvement while fulfilling the niche that it occupies).
