While I don’t disagree that this is at first blush quite complex, using it as an example also obscures a few additional details that aren’t present in something like python, namely monads and lifetimes. I think in absence of these, this code is a bit easier to read. However, if you had prior exposure to these concepts, I think that this is more approachable. I guess what I’m getting at here is that rust doesn’t seem to be syntactic spaghetti as much as it is a confluence of several lesser-used concepts not typically used in other “simpler” languages.
