.clone() everything!
I do kind of agree in a way though. Rust forces you to think a bit about memory and the language does tend to guide towards good design. But it's not magic and it's easy to write inefficient Rust too. Especially if you just clone everything. But I personally find Rust to be a good mix of low level control that feels sufficiently high level.
Garbage collected languages can be memory efficient too though. Having easily shared references is great!
After you’ve cloned everything you’ll
Arc<Mutex<>>everything.
