i think Rust is actually encouraging programmers to make extra copies of objects, because that's the most simple path to get things done.

Did I miss anything?

That it's often similar in C/C++, except instead of the borrow checker being in the way it's fear of memory management or concurrency bugs.

still, in c++ you would pass an object by reference to a function call (if that object is not expected to be of very small in size).

However in Rust you do have a strong incentive to do otherwise.
