What’s the point of using Rust, if you don’t want to think and program in Rust? If you seriously don’t want to learn and deal with safe code and think every step of it in advance before compilation, then Rust is the wrong language for you. Either use a low level language like C and Zig, which gives you control over the system, but does not have a borrow checker. Or use a language with a runtime check that does this automatically for you without a borrow checker, like Go in example.
unsafe does not disable the borrow checker. It does however give you abilities to circumvent it, namely by letting you dereference pointers, which are not subject to the borrow checker.
Let us know when the borrow checker is optional so I can write it without hurting my brain.
It is. You just need to change the extension to

Isn’t it already optional? Just put

I really need to start learning this language soon, or I won’t be able to understand future memes and rants.
