One must write structure a program in a way that is compatible with the borrow checker. It would probably require a rewrite to make unsafe code that was purposefully ignoring the borrow checker then pass the borrow checker. Keep working at it. After a while you start to realize the patterns that work. Now, I can prototype in Rust pretty fast.
