The amount of programmers who have no idea what the borrow checker is kinda baffles me. You don’t need to know how to write rust to know what the borrow checker is.

I wouldn't expect anyone to know about it unless they had taken an interest in Rust. It's pretty unusual.

This is a programming community, people will not shut up about rust, and yet people don’t bother to educate themselves on it’s headline feature?
