Borrow checking, generics (dynamics) and lifetimes could be tricky to explain to beginners.

I recently wrote myself a software renderer in rust to learn the ropes and had a pretty big initial hill to climb.

For sketches, I find that in practice I tend not to bump up against the borrow checker at all. Here’s a thread of sketches (all with code) that I wrote when I was experimenting with nannou; explicit lifetimes are nowhere to be seen.
