The explanation of lifetimes linked here is really great - I think this goes a little further than just a cheat sheet. Seems to be more like excellent Clif note

- alexbanks 7y agoLifetimes are about where I bowed out of Rust. I haven't worked with C++ before, or really ever thought about borrowing or lifetimes, so it never really clicked in my head. What's worse is the Rust community's desire to remind you to "Just read the book". Maybe this would be a worthwhile read to get back into it?
- Myrmornis 7y agoThe Book by Steve Klabnik looks fantastic for newer programmers, but as an experienced programmer I did find it difficult to get into. On the other hand, the O’Reilly book by Jim Blandy and Jason Orendorff is just amazing for experienced programmers (and would be unsuitable for new programmers). It’s the best programming language book I’ve ever read. It’s great that both books exist, filling those two niches.
