Oh, Rust type signatures are harder to use than even Haskell.

But that's because there are a lot of low level detail that must go into them. Most of the complexity that C developers tend to ignore (and create wrong programs) goes there, explicitly. If you don't want the detail, you can make them simpler.

That said, I have a long rant about how Haskell-like types ignore the entire "algebra" thing from algebraic types, and could be way more expressive and simpler to use.
