>We always assume competent Java and competent Rust developers.
Even if every single Developer was perfect at his job, there are overly optimistic deadlines, badly planned projects, code written on crunchtime, requirements changing halfway through, decades old legacy code to be interfaced with new systems, etc. etc.
A language can only do so much.
It's the quality of the code written in practice that matters most.
So he best a language can do, is help the developer to write good code.
And in my opinion, the best way a language can achieve that, is by being easy to learn & easy to read.
