That depends on what you are used to.

I was mostly used to C and Perl when I was young, and Python made a lot of sense.

I would not say that javascript was more obvious to me than rust was when I started to use them.

A lot of people seem to be hung up on borrow checker, but if you are used to low level C, you had to keep track of that with comments on functions and conventions anyway (and you had to keep it in your head).

The thing that I had to get used the most of in rust is using more functional style of programming, but since I liked python comprehensions and collections, It want such a long jump as it otherwise might be.

When you were a young perl programmer, you didn't use it functionally, as a list processor?

While TMTOWTDI, I've noticed Perl tended to have an imperative camp and a list processing camp.
