SDL, SFML, other libraries for game development in C++...?
I only used SFML, currently making a 2D isometric game. I really like it so far overall, easy to use IMO, pretty well documented. Does what I need it to do. Heard good things about SDL2 and also Cinder++ (https://libcinder.org/) also.

GUI Tips C++
What kind of game? You might be better off using a game engine unless it's more of a simple starter project. Check out https://libcinder.org/ or see lots of engines here: https://github.com/collections/game-engines

Something like p5.js but for C++
Try Cinder (https://libcinder.org/). I have not tried it myself but it seems to have the same goals as P5 and Processing (ie. creative coding).

Can someone help me with ownership and borrowing?
Another idea would be to do something with Nannou, it's pretty straightforward to get some visually pleasing results and I find these Processing/P5 inspired creative coding libraries allow for a lot of exploration and expression. The Coding Train is a YouTube channel which has dozens of these kinds of projects, translating them into Rust certainly is good exercise.

Assuming you’re talking about https://nannou.cc they advertise a slack, a matrix, and a github org.
