No, I just don't think you have identified a problem in the first place. You've complained a lot, but you've not even been specific enough to point at a single concrete thing! You've been so lacking in specifics I don't even know if you'd prefer Ocaml, Go, or Python-style syntax over Rust! Like, I can't tell since all you've said is that you don't like it, without even telling me how you don't like it or what you prefer!

You say "over-complicated". I disagree, my impression is that is mostly about as complicated as it needs to be to solve the problems it is trying to solve.

Symbol soup and layers of hell that is abstractions. A language in which it is valid syntax to have 6 symbols next to each other is a bad idea.

You do not have to know what programming language I prefer either[1]. Why would you?

[1] If you are curious, I have talked quite a lot about it, along with why I dislike Rust.
