The borrow checker is unfortunately complicated. It forces code to be written in certain ways and not in others. C++ is the fad language used for Bitcoin Core. By its own it enforces simpler programs, I think it's more general programming fads that make the code hard to read.

Maybe C++ and Rust are geared toward large-scale systems with many developers of differing experience and knowledge about the systems. Totally overkill for smaller self-contained codebases, or larger with senior devs.

Agree Rust is overly complicated, would love to see a flavour without async and with fast compilation as a top priority.

GC like async is out of the question for me when it comes to systems programming.

Respect your work.
