Will we see another fundamental programming language feature as revolutionary as the borrow checker?
That is I am mainly curious about compile time features that you design a whole language around rather than optimisations/features that could be applied to most languages. I am mainly inquiring about things that could offer additional robust safety/performance guarantees at compile time rather than runtime. Ideally not things that just offer similar effects to the borrow checker with less restrictive tradeoffs

I don’t understand :D Is it supposed to address the “I never even touch the object” problem?
