haha, totally agree.
to me, this is what peter_bertok is trying get at, and that in his view rust is already starting to slip into some bad habits that led to complicated c++, the latter of which has had many years to accumulate such cruft. Perhaps that just the nature of an aging programming language that has to evolve with other advances (we don't really know since this is all pretty new to us as humans, maybe it'll be normal in a few hundred years that programming languages just need to die 
)
I tend to think about things in terms of "sophistication == active refining simplicity" and "complication == active emerging conflict"... and "simplicity" as "achieving a goal with least resistance". I think here the goal is for Rust to be sophisticated without being complicated. writing code is really a struggle between sophistication and complication, and its never ending.
