> We're often told that Rust is hard because the underlying problem is hard, but I've encountered many cases where that's not true, it really is just the borrow checker. And unfortunately, most of them are problems that Polonius won't fix.

Out of curiosity, what are your favorite examples?

I would be curious to know more about this case too, fwiw!

Personally, I've only struggled a bit with the borrow checker in a couples of cases: trying to have self/circular references when trying to model OOP, and when fiddling/interacting with some low level async code. Both were unnecessary in my case, and each situation was caused by a lack of understanding.
