I think it's a common misconception that ownership is there to make you suffer compiler shenanigans. When in my experience it changes the way you model programs. Turns out, that structuring your program in a way were it's clear who owns what makes for easier to understand and debug programs. It's a bit analogous to static typing, saying I'll use a language like Python without type hints, because its gonna make me avoid compiler errors, is a bit short sighted when I plan on developing the piece of code for a longer time.

Here is a blog post that explains this in more detail https://without.boats/blog/notes-on-a-smaller-rust/.

Everything related to safety is on my list. (the list is big) I think big problems can be broken down into smaller ones.
