I'm still in the early stages with this one in Rust. I spent a lot of time this weekend on it and I'm finding no exaggeration in those stories of fighting the borrow checker! It's been a pig, honestly. I am OK with the point of it all, if anything it's made me more aware of limitations of not taking this strict approach in other languages. I can see all sorts of possible bugs that can't happen in Rust. Doesn't make writing it any easier.
I'm starting to think that Rust is really just a clever set of constraints that forces good behavior on the programmer.
Happy to throw the Python stuff over the wall at you although it isn't especially pretty (it was my 'learn Python' project). I'll put it up on Github this week & ping you back here.
