(2) is why I'm so happy for Gc<T>. Also, if my graph is going to be short-lived, I've had success just allocing up an Arena<T>, making as many cycles as I want, and then collecting the whole thing at once after my comp

When most people ask for a linked list data structure, they probably don't mean "a vector of elements and a linked list of indexes into that vector" because it totally defeats the purpose of using a linked list in the first p

Typical benchmarks for jitted languages like javascript don't include the jitting in their numbers. Jits can beat C in performance in situations where understanding how the program behaves at runtime influences code generation optimiza

You are correct in assuming that the assignment would be a type error. Similar to other languages, you'd have to allocate. In rust, it would probably look like: let mut fut: Box<Future<()>> = Box::new(Future<()&gt
