 # Quote of the Week
 
-<!-- QOTW goes here -->
+> In a way, \[the\] borrow checker also makes interfaces simpler. The rules may be restrictive, but the same rules apply to everything everywhere. I can learn them once, and then know what to expect from every API using references. There are no exceptions in libraries that try to be clever. There are no exceptions for single-threaded programs. There are no exceptions for DLLs. There are no exceptions for programs built with -fpointers-go-sideways. It may be tricky like a game of chess, but I only need to consider the rules of the game, and not odd stuff like whether my opponent glued pieces to the chessboard.
