The borrow checker is deterministic, so the commenter in [2] is mistaken about it “deciding” that a previously-OK borrow was suddenly no good. I do recall the steep learning curve and the frustrations with the borrow checker, but I haven’t had it impede me at all in probably two years now and I’m writing Rust most of the day every day. Also, most of the knowledge I gained by learning to work with it is general knowledge that made me a better programmer, not specific knowledge of how to “work around” the borrow checker.
