That would be nice. Instead we’re seeing all these JS/Python tools written in Rust - a complex language whose complexity comes providing memory safety without garbage collection.
Their authors are deliberately choosing to take on that complexity for programs where it’s unnecessary - programs which would work equally well with a GC.
The overwhelming majority of Rust borrowing complexity can be trivially solved by just doing .clone() which is basically all those GC languages like Go and Python are doing themselves anyway. You can avoid the borrow checker altogether if you want to, and a lot of people do. It will still be much faster than go or python just due to the lack of runtime overhead and GC
