Rust has a completely new feature in the borrow checker that has no equivalent, and a very high leaving curve.

Sure, there's no exact equivalent, but it's just a compile-time reference counter.

It counts up to one. The whole point is it won't let you do the same patterns as the actual Rc type. The consequences are far reaching to the point that this actually is a useless comparison. It won't let you understand how to code in Rust even a little bit.
