I agree that we lean on things that are often too complex for our given tasks (the industry encourages it) but I'm going to push back with a little Rust rant. I'd argue that RUST is actually represents a simplification not a complication. Perhaps GC was an over-complication. Perhaps app/system language separation was an over-complication. Perhaps the idea that memory/cpu limits don't matter because there is always more on the way because hardware keeps improving royally screwed us. Perhaps OOP is a disastrous over-complication. Perhaps energy costs and efficient resource management is actually a hell of a lot more important than we believed it was. Look at all the bloat we blindly accept in the name of productivity which in many cases is dubious. Rust may not be the be all end all of languages but it does shine a bright light on the brain rot that has consumed the software industry.
