I recently realized that trying to order C++ and Rust precisely on a complexity scale is rather pointless and misleading, since it's obvious that they are in the same class of trickiness, but for different reasons.

If a significant number of the developers that come into contact with a language think it's hard, then... it's very likely hard.

Rust is harder than many languages, but just because something is hard doesn't mean that it's complicated. I find that the strictness of the compiler ends up all-but-forcing code to end up rather simple.
