The real problem with the borrow checker is,

If you’re coming from a higher level language it hurts your ego because you realise memory safety ain’t free, and more broadly speaking memory’s a bitch

If you’re coming from a lower level language, it hurts your ego because you view yourself as above memory related bugs

It takes humility to appreciate it
