> I'm not convinced that borrow checking cannot be done more simply - we intend to research this for Hare
I don't think something this fundamental can be retrofitted. It specifically says on the Hare website that you intend to place a strong emphasis on backward compatibility, which means that once programs with lifetime issues (leaks/use-after-free) are out there, the compiler needs to be able to compile them, and thus the same bugs can occur in new code as well.

I wish you well with your efforts regarding a simpler borrow checker.
