Bugs that the Rust compiler catches for you

I recently ported some Python to Rust and I actually did feel like a lot of the Rust code was pretty similar to Python.

Mutating things is mostly not that difficult, just add mut to the declaration and then &mut if you pass it around.

The most difficult thing was lifetimes.

E: borrows got a little tricky as well

This is what I mean, I ported some Python code almost 1:1.

If you program in a functional way anyway, i.e. having data go through a series of filters, it is quite easy. But not all ways of programming are so easy to port to Rust.
