I can write bad code in rust too. Rust makes it more difficult, but if you try hard you can abuse it to get the same hundreds of classes and 50 level deep calls, and 100s of threads. You can even do manual memory management in Rust - it isn't built into the language but you can call system APIs to allocate memory if you really want to be stupid. Don't do that is the answer.

Good programmers have long ago written best practices guides based on hard learned experience. Newer languages (like Rust) were designed by people who read those guides and made a language that made using those features hard.
