Agreed, when I see comments like this I tend to think they haven't spent much time using the language. It takes a while, but after a month or so you can read just about any Rust code. Honestly, feels like a much simpler language in day to day usage than say a language like Scala (just an example) to me.

I also agree with this sentiment, although there are some examples of really weird meta programming that remains opaque to me. For instance, I’m able to use `warp` as a framework, but the use of things like type level peano arithmetic is mostly incomprehensible to me at the moment. I also find that I run into Higher Rank Trait Bounds so rarely that I have a poor grasp of it (which might be as intended). All that to say that there are some odd corners of the language, given that I’ve been using it for five years now and as my main professional language for three years.
