Code is read much more often than written, and most newer languages optimize for convenience rather than readability.
In my view Rust is actually pretty verbose compared to other new languages, and feels a bit cumbersome to write.
Technically it could be made quite a bit leaner syntax-wise.
I just wanted to point out that Rust and the Rust community often share your view and want to optimize for readability as well. There actually was a lot of heated discussion last year around proposals that suggested reducing readability for convenience.
