In Rust, for all but the most trivial logic, the compiler will usually have several things to say. However, I usually feel like the compiler is guiding me towards a simpler&amp;#x2F;more idiomatic&amp;#x2F;better way of doing things, and the compiler is more strict simply because Rust is so well-equipped for static compile-time analysis.&lt;p&gt;So fret not, the borrow checker and all the other checks that happen when writing Rust exist &lt;i&gt;precisely because&lt;/i&gt; these things are so painful and complex to reason about as a human. The compiler is your colleague, not your boss!</text></comment>
