Disclaimer: I pretty much don't like Rust, but most criticism of it boils down to culture war.

What about the borrow checker needs an overhaul? Seems to do it's job quite well. If you want to remove it then you should use like C++ or Zig or something since the borrow checker is fairly fundemenal to the design of the language
This is second hand info, but some people have had problems in bigger projects where the borrow checker ends up rejecting valid Rust code.
I think I have seen those comments right here in Lemmy.
