Yes, a week (no shame, damnit). The case was that I couldn't understand what the problem even was. I understood that there can be only one owner, but I didn't see how what I was doing was a problem. I literally looked at every error message it gave me and was like "so what?" I think Rust initially suggested I implement the Copy trait or something, and so I had to brush up on traits and all that (which I did), only to find that my types can't have traits because vec<T> doesn't implement the Copy trait. So I abandoned that. The problem turned out to be that I needed a minor refactoring. I think the issue eventually turned out to be that I was mutably iterating through a list reading from TCPStreams, and then trying to write back to those streams. So it was like a read_object_from_stream(stream) on each element in a vector, and then the next line was a broadcast_to_all_streams(message) (I'm psuedocoding). The fix for me (when I finally came to understand what was happening) was to read_object_from_stream(stream) in to an intermediary vector (I named it cache), and THEN iterate through the intermediary and broadcast each item. In my notes I paraphrased it as "Instead of doing a readwrite, I separated my algorithm in to a READ and then a separate WRITE", because the way things were written I was double borrowing.
