It's true that in the case of a sorting algorithm it's not immediately obvious how to analyse the time complexity with Big O. However, I feel that you may be getting bogged down in semantics. Perhaps it is accurate to say that whe

I really don't agree with this. You don't have to pay any attention to low level concepts (unless you want to) except maybe the borrow checker? Which barely counts IMO. Scope and mutability are concepts every programmer should be
