are you for real? Rust most definitely is not highly readable and the language reeks of complexity

Readable is relative; it’s much less readable than some languages, but much more than the ones it’s largely displacing.

I would much rather try and figure out a bug in unfamiliar rust than in unfamiliar cpp.

It's comparable with Java.

It's significantly easier to parse than C++.

Java doesn't have lifetimes. So no.

And C++ can only be beaten by the likes of K, J and brainfuck. Very low bar to clear.
