Some notes on "Borrow checking, RC, GC, and the Eleven (!) Other Memory Safety Approaches"

I've nothing against the post, it just irks me to see a big unorganized list like a pile of christmas tree lights.

It's an interesting blog post with comprehensive references, but it's also like a travel brochure with a list of destinations. In practice you want something more like a route map: A rough overview of how different approaches complement each other, or overlap each other. A jigzaw puzzle is much easier to solve when there's a picture on the front of the box.

Here's a modest propsoal for a better table of contents:
