I know the basics. But manually managing memory lifetimes you only learn from a lot of exposure to C/asm. In my first 3 months of Rust, I spent an equal amount of time with the type-checker and the borrow-checker. A year in and I don’t really have a separate phase of resolving borrow-check errors before I can compile. People with more C exposure tend to think that way already.
