alt Hacker News> A programming language simpler than C++..
That made me chuckle because both are quite the behemoths, as I have previously said. If they promised this, it was a lie indeed.

I haven't dabbled in rust since 2018, but if rust has managed to be as complicated as C++ while being a fraction of the age then I would think that would be some kind of macabre achievement in its own right.

Both are, indeed, and I don't know if this was ever promised, but Rust is way simpler than C++ (today, at least).
I have to disagree. Rust is not even close to behemothness of C++.
