What straw man? You made these assertions: 1. Rust is low level 2. Low level details leak through abstractions 3. This creates a difficult trade off for use

What straw man? You made these assertions:
1. Rust is low level
2. Low level details leak through abstractions
3. This creates a difficult trade off for use cases that do not require manipulation of low level constructs
I am making these assertions:
1. Pointers are not particularly "low level"
2. The tradeoffs when pointers are abstracted away are worse
3. It is sad that trained professionals believe that pointers are difficult to understand
