Yeah, I agree wholeheartedly with that. This is also what I really dislike in many languages. You should have a look at Scala 3. Not saying that I'm perfectly happy with the direction of the language - but Scala really got those foundations well and made it so that it has few features but they are very powerful and can be combined very well. Rust took a lot of inspiration from Scala for a reason - but then Rust wants to achieve zero-cost abstraction and do high-performance, so it has to make compromises accordingly for good reasons. Some of those compromises affect the ergonomics of the language unfortunately.
