Simpler Rust-like memory safety

Build a tool or library that simplifies implementing zero-cost cyclic mutability and borrow checking in Rust. For developers working on complex data structures.

Why now

Developers are increasingly adopting Rust but struggle with its strict memory safety model, especially in advanced use cases.

Rust's borrow checker can be challenging, especially when dealing with cyclic data structures. Developers need a simpler way to implement zero-cost cyclic mutability without compromising safety. Your tool would provide clear abstractions or macros to handle these cases, reducing cognitive overhead. Target Rust developers working on performance-critical applications. The smallest version could be a library with a few helper functions. The biggest risk is competing with Rust's evolving standard library.
