I realized that I never shared my lifetimes tutorial on Rust forums before.

The idea was to strip away all type machinery and provide an intuitive mental model of what lifetime analysis actually does and how it achieves memory safety, and then slowly reintroduce the type machinery back when explaining more complicated topics.

The project got abandoned years ago, only The Basics part was completed, but recently I made a quick update for Rust edition 2024 and I'm considering resurrecting the project if there is community interest in it.
