Manual memory controls? What are those? Rust does not have "manual memory controls". You write the code so that the borrow checker does not complain. End of story.

Those are pedantic semantics. I assume you know what I mean. But I'll explain it to you: with Rust you are in control of how memory is managed. Indeed through the borrow checker.
