> This is a superficial complaint, but I found Rust syntax to be dense, heavy, and difficult to read

If you think that Rust is dense and difficult to eyeball, please do try... Swift - purely for therapeutic reasons. But not the usual, trivial, educational-sample, evangelism-slideshow Swift, please, but real-world, advanced Swift with generics. All the unique language constructs to memorize, all the redundant syntactic sugar variations to recognize, all the special-purpose language features to understand, all the inconsistent keyword placement variations to observe, all the inferred complex types to foresee, etc. will make you suddenly want to quit being a programming linguist and instead become a nature-hugging florist and/or run back to Go, Python, or even friggin' LOGO. I'm tellin' ya. And, when considering Swift, we're not even talking about a systems programming language usable with, say, lightweight wearable hardware devices, but about a frankenstein created (almost) exclusively for writing GUIs on mobile devices usually more powerful than desktop workstations of yesteryear :).
Considering the speed of adoption of server-side Swift as well as the progress of Swift's support for Linux, I am guessing we are talking about some expert variation of the pump-and-dump investment technique here ;).

Rust is complex, but very good.
