Hm, I too got the sense that it's not clear what the "prerequisites" are for reading the article. Parts of it were really straightforward to me "oh, I know roughly what a stack and the heap are" to confusing "wow, I don't know anything about C++". I think a few distinct guides targeting different sorts of programmers might be the answer here. But I do like the idea of focusing on ownership and lifetimes more front and center, since that's rust's raison d'etre. Can you get a hold of Niko's slides from the NYC meetup this week at Bloomberg? I was there, and his overview of ownership and borrowing, using the examples of a book, were actually really helpful for me. For whatever reason, his approach really resonated with me.
