approaches C++-level eyebleed
Have you ever hit F12 on any C++ std function or data structure? Every time I do it genuinely feels like I'm back at day 1 freshman year of an undergrad CS degree.

The problem with C++ template metaprogramming style is symbol length, the notation ordering (insane levels of nesting), and diagnostics generated from those that easily turn into absurdity.
Another issue is static languages lack universal diagnostics, introspection, and symbolic evaluation capabilities of dynamic languages with REPLs and remote debuggers.
Dynamic languages are often missing "compile" (deployment)- or at-boot-runtime type checking, data race condition borrow/mutability/concurrency analysis, and monkeypatch protections.

Honestly I don't think it's that bad if you can look past all the underscores. I looked around for something worse but maybe I'm just accustomed to the eyebleed that C++ has to offer. To me, Rust is uglier, but that's because it's been around a quarter of the time that I've been using C++ and I don't know what all the symbols do without looking up a cheatsheet.
