When I started learning Rust and low-level programming (I'm coming from Ruby), spamming/searching for error/fixing code and wait for `cargo build` to turn green was the strategy I used. As I have more experience with Rust I become more and more aware of ownership/lifetime of everything I'm using, the compiler errors appear less and less, most of the time it's typo or mut missing now and not lifetime issues anymore.

So yes, if you work enough with the borrow checker, your brain will form another logical one, and that one you can use for writing C/C++ code. I have much more confident now in learning/writing C/C++ than before I learn Rust, because I feel like I can form a Rust-like design (tree-based, clear ownership/lifetime objects) and put that in using C/C++ syntax.

Definitely recommend using Rust as stepping stone to learn production-grade level C/C++.
