From the starting point of being a professional Java developer and a hobbyist Haskeller, Scala should've been the perfect language for me, yet I struggle with making it past just how complicated the language is -- not really complex, as such, just over-engineered.

To me, Rust feels like the simplest possible language that could achieve their design goals, whereas Go feels like they went so far out of their way to make it simple that they lost track of the other goals altogether.
