I got how c++ vectors work. Rust `Vec`s work similarly IIRC. But the problem in C++ is that it allowed you to make a `Vec` from a raw pointer. Anywany, IMHO rust has thrown the baby out with bath water. To make such errors (ie bad design) categorically impossible, it also made a huge class of valid programs also impossible. And in-turn to patch that, it gave yet another bunch of stuff (IIRC `Rc`, `RefCell`) that people are supposed to learn (they have horrible interfaces IMHO) by which some of the programs could be implemented. I think someone else should give it another shot. May be they can come up with a better solution than this "borrow checker"..
