By

Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
A modified Rust compiler called "Rust--" (or rustmm) that disables the borrow checker, allowing Rust code that violates borrowing rules to compile and run. The project provides pre-built binaries for macOS and Linux, and includes examples showing code that would normally fail in standard Rust (e.g., using a moved value) now compiling successfully. The project is hosted on GitHub under the repository buyukakyuz/rustmm.
