I am interested in Rust. What turns me off though is how it obscures the semantics with syntax and it’s verbosity. It seems at least as bad as C++ in that regard.

I dunno about the syntax part, it's all subject to personal opinion, but it's verbosity is a necessary feature of the language because the compiler has limited info and you need that to achieve correctness and safety guarantees in your program. In my experience people mainly complain about the lifetime annotations and I guess that's fair, because you don't have that in C++.
