The original post was talking about abstractions. The borrow check is not an abstraction.


Ok, sure:

    Making the borrow checker happy with their abstractions...
You've seen iton #rust too, Im sure. People trying to make a genric reusable thread safe Foo and getting stuck with the borrow checker rather than making a specifc solution to a problem that uses unsafe or whatever and actually solves the problem.

I know Ive seen it several times.

Safe good code is better, but it's also a distraction in many problem domains.
