Noisy, unreadable code, obsessed with ownership, may give rise to whole new classes of errors that otherwise won't be there. Good that someone experimented with building a language around ownership, but for me it all demonstrates that the idea is not viable. I tried to read 10 tutorials already, each leaving me more confused than ever before.

Some serious voodoo science is going on here, with a good chance to become a next fad. Programming is difficult as it is, but apparently not difficult enough for someone's taste.

"mut f" means you can assign to "f". "f: &mut" means you can mutate through "f", for example assigning to "f.buffer". You can't assign to "f", to do that use "mut f: &mut". This is exactly same as distinction of "const T * v" and "T * const v" in C. The former is written "v: &mut T", the later "mut v: &T". "T * v" is written "mut v: &mut T". This will not change.
