I was actually reading the rust lang book for the first time yesterday, specifically the intro to lifetimes that this post is a revision of. I'm not sure jumping so much into what's going on in the C++ side is a great idea. The section as it stands now covers the important points (with out lifetimes invalidating pointers is easy) without getting too lost. However, I'm already pretty familiar with C++, so the more brief explanation may not be enough for everyone.
