Interesting take. So far I agree with what you're saying. It has given me more insight into how memory management works than I'd had before. I think one of the things that bugs me about javascript is how difficult it is to track down memory leaks. A problem I've often faced when dealing with large codebases and other peoples code. The memory management in Rust via the borrow checker is a very elegant as a solution. It's also a pain but not as hard to deal with as people make out.
