This is also, if not more, true for Swift as well. I've been working with both Swift and Rust (in addition to C++) for some time now and I find real-world, advanced Rust SIGNIFICANTLY easier to read and comprehend than real-world, advanced Swift. This is, IMHO, due to the fact that where Rust chooses to be syntactically simple, explicit and consistent, Swift chooses to be syntactically complex, idiom-based and feature-bloated. Sure, Swift code can look very modern and attractive at times, but usually when it comes to superficial code samples in Apple promotional videos. Otherwise, if you, say, look at a large codebase written by someone else, Swift reads just as badly as C++ complexity-wise.
