My theory is that every technology that is too complex gets replaced with something that does the same thing more simply. You see this relentlessly in the JavaScript ecosystem where waves of too-complex tools get rapidly replaced with something else, only to be swept away again when someone finds an even more simple way to do the same thing.
This must be the fate of Rust - eventually it will be replaced with a language that gives the memory and thread safety without the melt-your-brain complexity.
I want a simpler version of Rust.
It's too hard.
Is it possible to create a truly safe language without the dizzying complexity? Or is it the complexity a baseline requirement?
I wonder if there is a subset of Rust that can be extracted someone into a new, minimal language with the core benefits.
