1. Rust is low level

2. Low level details leak through abstractions

3. This creates a difficult trade off for use cases that do not require manipulation of low level constructs

1. Pointers are not particularly "low level"

2. The tradeoffs when pointers are abstracted away are worse

3. It is sad that trained professionals believe that pointers are difficult to understand
