> And sadly rust is fairly user-hostile language

Rust seems to me to be user-frienndly, though for the cases where it's safety features are critical and at the fore, it front-loads pain that would be dealt with eventually, which can make it feel intimidating. But its forcing you to confront things that are likely to cause subtle bugs if dealt with sloppy (or overlooked), not actually adding unnecessary complexity.
