Hah, yes. I thought I'd get started with Rust going through building some basic data structures. Linked lists were near the top of my list so I didn't get very far with that first approach XD
- tialaramex 3y agoIf you really meant this, and you ever want to learn Rust, you could do worse than begin with Aria's "Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists" https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/ https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/ You can skip her explanation of why the Linked List is a bad first data structure, and get straight to doing, but if you have no idea why a very experienced programmer would think this data structure is terrible (so terrible she tried but failed to have it removed from Rust's Standard Library before Rust 1.0) you should read her whole PSA too.
- yeck 3y agoI didn't end my Rust learning with that. I did a bit of a deep dive into articles about linked lists in Rust out of curiosity before pivoting to more fruitful projects. My favourite "project" being last year's Advent of Code.
