Do you often find yourself using interior mutability in Rust? I have pretty much never *needed* it in recent years. In the few cases I have, it's turned out that I actually wanted to use atomics instead.
I'm curious to see if using interior mutability is common or not. #rustlang

Yeah trees and graphs are the main places I've had to use that too. That being said, I'm lucky enough to be able to keep those trees immutable in most cases though, so I actually end up only using Rc and not needing RefCell or whatever at all.
Luckily our children won't have to deal with this, since there likely won't be any trees left in a few decades. Which will also mean no more graphs without paper to print them on.

Child, learning programming: Why are these data structures called trees? Us: because when you think about how the world used to be you suddenly really feel like smoking some trees

Talking to my niece and nephew makes me feel old fast. Ethernet is called "wifi cables". They have no clue what the save icon is. They never lived pre-ACPI and didn't understand how shutdown and power off could be separate steps

This reminds me how depressing "Clean Green New Zealand" really is. Half the ranges round here have been deforested, and a huuuuge chunk of the north island is just farmland that drains in to polluted rivers
