| I've been trying this one for a while: I'm a Python programmer. Help me
understand memory management in Rust.
Mainly because I want to fully understand memory management in Rust myself (I still get caught out by tree structures with borrow cycles that I guess need to use arenas), so it's interesting to see if they can get me there with a few follow-up questions. |

| This isn't a good way to learn this. If you don't know how rust memory management works you don't know if the llm is just hallucinating the answer. |

If a model ever DOES nail this I'll figure that out when I feel like I have a solid mental model, try to put that knowledge into action and it works. | |
