slowing converting from a rust skeptic to rust maxi. the compiler will initially frustrate you but it is really just trying to teach you something important.

The haskell compiler is similar in a way: it forces you to think about the separation of side effects from pure code. Rust forces you to think about the correctness of references to objects in memory.

Initially it is frustrating but in the end it leads to enlightenment.
