- amelius 6y agoWould Rust be the best choice of language, given all the back pointers (previous, parent)?
- timw4mail 6y agoTrees are not that bad in Rust, it's when you have a cyclical structure that Rust is really difficult.
- amelius 6y agoYes, that's what I meant by "back pointers". In the article, every node has a parent pointer and a child pointer (or several). You can't have both of these pointers without introducing cycles.
