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 think you can get away with not understanding of how the borrow checker works up to a point. And there is a way of nesting your data structures that comes naturally after a while of writing Rust where it's not that much of a pain anymore.

right, the more experience the less of a problem the borrow checker becomes. what would be cool is a language that you can productively use without needing a significant amount of experience.

It is a cool language that has a lot of things going for it: no hidden preprocessor macros, not being able to add side effects to the standard library, idioms like "dyn/Box/unwrap/unsafe" that can make bad code immediately stick out in code reviews
