alt Hacker NewsSorry, should clarify. .clone() itself isn't inherently unidiomatic when used .
My issue is specifically with how the AI uses it. In AI code, .clone() is almost always used as a brute-force escape hatch

So .clone() significantly reduces the mental overhead of using rust with a small performance impact? I'm intrigued :)
Maybe it's harder to reason about the lifetime semantics while also writing code, and works better as a second phase (the de-cloning).
