Programming languages rise and fall based on how well they serve the three aspects of a programmer's work: vocation, art, and job, with difficulty being a key factor in their success or failure. Languages that make any of these aspects unnecessarily difficult will not survive, but languages that balance them well, like C++ and Rust, can be immortal.

A new approach to Rust's borrow checker has been proposed, which views regions as sets of loans rather than program points, and uses Datalog rules to analyze the relationships between regions and loans. The analysis computes subset relationships between regions and propagates them across control-flow edges, and also tracks which regions depend on which loans to detect borrow check errors.
