In Rust you have the option to Box and/or Rc everything. That gets you out of all the borrowing problems at the cost of rubtime performance (it basically puts you in the C++ world). This is a perfectly reasonable way to program but people forget about it due to the more "purist" approach that's available. But it's a good way to go for iteration and simplicity, and (in my opinion) still miles better than C++, due to the traits, pattern matching, error handling, and tooling.
