I've passed that hill behind me and I rarely have to fight the borrow checker. If you're familiar with the ownership model and learn the few scoping quirks that's not that hard. What I find way harder to cope with is the gazillions of type parameters with gazillions of guards, send, sync, clone or not clone, then impl Foo for Bar vs impl Foo for Arc<Bar> etc etc; and tons of features in cargo crates, also in private workspace projects, .... And the compiler slowness oh man the compiler slowness. EDIT: my life improved a bit since I learned about the cargo hakari plugin
