The whole idea of borrowing etc. is fundamental to Rust and how it
ensures safety. Without garbage collection. If you don't like or
understand this approach, Rust isn't useful.
Hugh,
I've a question about how borrowing is implemented internally as it can lead
to a problem, if I allow lots of memory can my program stall because of this
at the end of a block. In addition due to this does borrow checking
limit or
not implement something like freelists or caching to get better usage of the
CPU cache as that's also a concern.
Thanks,
Nick
