Couldn't the same be said of rust though? The biggest barrier, in my experience, is almost always familiarity with the syntax.

I work mostly with Rust, and have been for years, and no I wouldn't say that Rust is easy to read. It's easier to read than most legacy languages, but it's nothing like Golang.

Pretty much this, yes.

I think my comfort with Rust moreso comes from it feeling like any other C-ish language in appearance. It reads as expected to me.
