nbrycnb | 2 years ago | on: Ask HN: Why aren't modern programming languages, like Rust, more legible?

Leaving aside the question whether Python is actually readable outside of small scripts:

An untyped language or a language with a small type system and type inference like SML always looks more readable.

If things get more advanced, the syntax will grow. Now, whether Rust needs to look that ugly is another matter. I think they made some wrong choices and should have evolved more from SML etc.
