Yeah, if you need a linked list (you probably don't) use that. If however you are one of the very small number of people who need fine-grained control over a tailored data-structure with internal cross-references or whatnot then you ma

There are certain styles of programming and data structure implementations that end up requiring you to fight Rust at almost every step. Things like intrusive data structures, pointer manipulation and so on. Famously there is an entire book

Tip: A list compiler should be relatively straightforward, as these things go. If you get the AI to write it you should actually read it, all of it, and understand it, to the point where you can add features and fix bugs yourself. There are

The wider point is that copyright headers are a very important detail and that a) the AI got it wrong b) you did not notice c) you have not taken on board the fact that it is important despite being told several times and have dismissed the

An incorrect copyright header is a major red flag for non technical reasons. If you think it is an irrelevant minor matter then you do not undesirable several very important social and legal aspects of the issue.

Well you seem to think automating update of terminfo on a fleet of machines is too difficult so...

It doesn't sound like they are talking about invalid states, more like they are taking about the kind of thing that in Rust would be represented by `Option<Box<dyn SomeTrait>>` or suchlike. Maybe your point is that in Rust
