> I am not sure how much Rust you have done yet, but the borrow checker is a tremendous confidence booster I recently spent an entire week diving into Rust for a personal project. While it certainly had a learning curve that slowed me down (particularly regarding the borrow checker), I realized that I only had 1(!) runtime error all week...in a language I was unfamiliar with. That gave me a huge amount of confidence in memory safety.
