"Borrow checker?"

"Thanks bro but don't need your checker got my own"

I don't code in rust, so I had no clue what a borrow checker was before seeing this and looking it up on the side.

Yeah, I’ve always heard that rust is memory-safe, but hadn’t bothered to look into how. I guess the borrow checker is part of that safety net.
