if rust added a GCed mode go would be dead in the water

i know you can use reference counting or clone most everything or add GC in other ways but the entire point is not have to concern yourself with lifetimes at all until it becomes relevant. i'm thinking there's no very good reason why rust can't take the role of c, c++, and python

the lifetime elision is pretty good now, but stuff like capturing lifetimes in closures/futures is still a syntactic monstrositypic.twitter.com/xRyiGiY1OR

oh i meant the lifetime of data, not lifetime annotations. i think it's very cool that they're not needed as often but that only reduces the amount of effort needed, not the degree of understanding.

i also should've specified 'relevant' further as meaning "necessary to achieve performance or interoperability goals"
