I think it depends on the patterns in place and the actual complexity of the problems in practice. Most of my personal experience in Rust has been a few web services (really love Axum) and it hasn't been significantly worse than C# or JS/TS in my experience. That said, I'll often escape hatch with clone over dealing with (a)rc, just to keep my sanity. I can't say I'm the most eloquent with Rust as I don't have the 3 decades of experience I have with JS or nearly as much with C#.

I will say, that for most of the Rust code that I've read, the vast majority of it has been easy enough to read and understand... more than most other languages/platforms. I've seen some truly horrendous C# and Java projects that don't come close to the simplicity of similar tasks in Rust.
