I also haven't heard any reports from colleagues who have tried out rust to a decent extent that borrow pointers are among the things that make rust code hard to write. 'rust is hard' != 'borrowing is hard' .. also, I don't necessarily think 'scope' would be identical to rust, it would be designed for D, obviously.
