This is exactly the opposite of the reason why JavaScript, despite being a horrible mess of a language, was so successful (because JS is so simple that everybody can write a hello world and think that he is a pro programmer now.)

As a corollary, if your ideal language has this property, it will not be widely adopted, and will remain a niche tool with lacking support, documentation, etc.

I fear, for all that Rust has going for it, it does have this exact property, and will fail to be widely adopted because of it.
