> It either devolves into using reference counting (fine but we have lots of languages that do that without borrow checking), or dynamics (i.e refcell). The point is that you don't have to do that for all of your data objects, unlike other languages that use refcounts and dynamic checks under the hood. Most alloc/dealloc in Rust can be dealt with via simple RAII.
