Let us know when the borrow checker is optional so I can write it without hurting my brain.
Bait or not, I'm not sure why you're getting such a negative reaction. People are getting too sensitive!
Btw, do sanitizers hurt your brain too?
It's not because people are sensitive, it's because Rust gets a lot of dumb criticism and people are tired of it.
Especially because the borrow checker is the point, the added value, of rust. With it it can ensure compile time memory safety, without it it is just another programming language.
