Personnel
gollark: Isn't the borrow checker basically just enforced generalized RAII?
gollark: It's like how when I write length-terminated strings, people seem to reduce their credence of my opinions on data structures.
gollark: The tooling *is* very nice since I can consume dependencies with no beeoids.
gollark: ```cpptest.cpp: In function ‘int& ff()’:test.cpp:2:12: error: cannot bind non-const lvalue reference of type ‘int&’ to an rvalue of type ‘int’ 2 | int& x = 4172; | ^~~~```
