Learning Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists

This might be a more interesting dive into Rust for those with a fair amount of existing c and/or c++.

I tried it out myself a few years ago. I had fun reliving the nightmare of implementing doubly-linked lists in C back in school! I never made it to the end of the book, though; it got wayyyy more complex around halfway than I could process at the time.

    I think The Book is probably good. There are two reading groups happening on twitch but posting and coming out of this community if you’re interested or unaware. I’m happy to provide more links if you like.

    If you’re completely unfamiliar with pointers then borrowing will be a steep climb, for which some supplementary materials, discussions online and general practice and time would be indispensable.

    In general though, I don’t think one should let that hood them back. IMO, just diving in and hacking while trying to learn as much as you go is probably the best way.

      I know, I really want to start contributing to FOSS projects with Code, especially to COSMIC as I think their base is supercool, but the GNOME-like layout sucks a lot. So this would for sure involve first learning all the basics, then iced, then their stuff.
