Do programmers really love writting LOTTA code in most beloved low level unsafe Rust with manual memory management, pointers, and constantly maintaning in mind memory model overhead of a code?
e.g. spending more resources, calories & time on typing more, longer code?
e.g. spending more resources, calories & time on reading longer code?

is offloading of complexity to compiler, typechecker, static analyzer by making more verbose code (& less human & less accessible) code -- good?

or

is less verbose, less safe, prone to errors & more expressive, more accessible, more natural lang code -- better?

According to the saying above, correctness is the most important. Therefore, one should offload complexity to the compiler to reduce errors.
