| I'm interested in your thoughts on Rust if you attended the talk.
The talk was mostly a guided creation of a program. So I don't think that it answered any of your questions.

The whole idea of borrowing etc. is fundamental to Rust and how it ensures safety. Without garbage collection. If you don't like or understand this approach, Rust isn't useful. Hugh, I've a question about how borrowing is implemented internally as it can lead to a problem, if I allow lots of memory can my program stall because of this at the end of a block. In addition due to this does borrow checking
