My goal is to explain the underlying concepts first (destructors and then ownership) with plenty of step-by-step examples, so that thoroughly explaining the semantics of mutability, boxes, moves, etc. is a breeze. I'm trying to avoid the comparisons with C++ that were done before, because this should be approachable for people coming from any language. C++ programmers already know these concepts so they aren't the audience that needs to be catered to. Comparisons with other languages can be done in separate documents (like this one).

This still needs examples for ownership (inherited mutability), owned boxes and managed boxes.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

Thanks for all the work on this! If you can address some of the comments (ultimately I'll leave it up to your judgment which suggestions to accept; most are subjective matters, and I don't want to make too much more work for you) I'll approve.

Move cognitive_complexity to nursery

As discussed in rust-lang/rust-clippy#5418 (comment); Clippy's current understanding of cognitive complexity is not good enough yet at analyzing code for understandability to have this lint be enabled by default.

changelog: Remove cognitive_complexity from default set of enabled lints
