I don't know how to put this politely.

There's nothing simple about Rust.

The compiler is complex and slow.

The borrower semantics is anything but simple.

It isn't uncommon for the syntax to look arcane.

The standard library is shallow often making developers have to resort to third party libraries for trivial things.

Rust improved upon languages like Cyclone but it's a far cry from being the next C/C++ when it comes to potential market adoption.
