On the contrary, the borrow checker is basically the first thing you learn about when writing in Rust as it’s the primary “gimmick” of the language. Anyone writing a non-trivial program should have at least heard the term before, even if they don’t fully understand how it works.

The borrow checker is a feature of Rust’s compiler which places strict constraints on ownership of data to guarantee memory safety. It adds a lot of friction to writing Rust code if you’re not experienced with the language (or sometimes even if you are). OP refers to the “language restriction of Rust”, seemingly talking about the borrow checker, but has never even heard of it. It’s kind of like someone claiming they didn’t vibecoded their C++ project but having no idea what the STL is.
That was obviously a joke though, and it wasn’t even OP.

7·4 months agoYeah, it’s not grammatically correct AFAIK but it’s a fairly common mistake to see.

Random thought, but I think this is the plot of one of the Jimmy Timmy Power Hours.
