I’m not calling Rust developers delusional. I’m calling people pretending the borrow checker doesn’t force you to specifically architecture your code to suit it delusional.

> Rust is definitely hard, but after a while it's fine and you kind of get how even if using another language you still have to think about memory.

That kind of comment is a typical exemple. It’s not that you have to think about memory. You have to understand the exact limitations of the analyser Rust uses to guarantee memory safety. I don’t understand why it’s so hard to accept for some part of the Rust community.
