> "one does not let one's friends skip leg day"

That is such a silly meme. It's silly because it suggests that Rust is a one-trick pony, or that it only focuses on memory safety, which isn't true in the least.

Besides, the borrow checker has at least one other major upside: Show me another mainstream language in which safe and efficient shared-memory concurrency and parallelism is as easy as in Rust.
