This is plain wrong, and it undermines the credibility of the author and the rest of the piece. Rust did not invent ownership in the abstract; it relies on plain RAII, a model that predates Rust by decades and was popularized by C++. What Rust adds is a compile-time borrow checker that enforces ownership and lifetime rules statically, not a fundamentally new memory-management paradigm.

Thank you for saying that. It makes me crazy every time I read that rust invented the concept of ownership…
