I mean both languages (and programs) have modules, string interpolation, lambda syntax, and a compiler/interpreter. The only thing they really left out is Promises. And you're iterating over an array so there's no understanding of iterators needed. You can write Python for a long time without ever learning about __iter__. In the example Rust program the iterator is exposed. I think if the Rust version only used the for syntax you could say you don't need to know about iterators.

Javascript has exceptions (the article even mentions them, but seems to assume that they're somehow intuitive?) whereas Rust doesn't. And the Javascript "first-class function" syntax isn't really objectively simpler than the Rust lambda syntax, which the article seems to assume.
