[hinkley]

When people asked my why I used Java this was pretty much my answer. I got tired of having to design all of my code around figuring out who owned the arguments, and what happened when it wasn't always the same answer. I can call a method that borrows the value from one that takes ownership, but I can't do vice versa.

I have six other things that will kill my app faster than a memory leak, but I have to design this shit first? No thank you. Rust is on my list of things to learn in 2016 and I'm hoping its borrowing semantics will feel like a solution to this problem without having to sign up for nondeterministic application pauses in the bargain.
