When I was first learning Rust, it was exactly this sort of lifetime issue that tripped me up and frustrated me, until I finally saw the light and understood how things work. Yes, the article is overly technical and detailed, but it captures very well the eureka moment of understanding Rust’s memory management. Some aspects are subtle yet profound. I am always happy to take a little more pain at code-writing and compile-time in exchange for more safety guarantees at run time; Rust is great in this regard.
