What about lifetimes?

  A Rust 101 intro does not need to concern itself with lifetimes.

    Indeed, overuse of lifetimes is a common novice mistake. In most real-world programs lifetime annotations are very rarely needed. The worst disaster of nonsensical <'a> exploding everywhere comes from novices trying to use Rust's references to store objects "by reference" in a struct, without understanding that in Rust references have a completely opposite meaning that forbids storing the data.

      Still that you can't just avoid to explain lifetimes. There is a lot of code out there witch uses lifetimes
