I wish I could make the borrow checker give warnings not errors. It would make exploration so much easier, so I don’t have to fight the borrow checker until I know how to build what I want.

Then you have code full of warnings and undefined behavior?

I think fighting the borrow checker is more like a rite of passage. Rust is not my favorite language but the borrow checker is great.

This is not a hacker’s take

I'm lazy. If you turn off the borrow checker the code will need a rewrite later, since it's there for a very good reason.
