My conclusion from my last blog post about teaching Rust in 5 days at my university is that Rust is not complicated if students with limited experience in Python can learn it in 5 days.
Complicated and complex are different adjectives, but I can expand my conclusion to "Rust not being complex" too. It is a language with new concepts that require people to first learn them before starting to hack.
