what? Where are you getting this from? I don't think folks are refusing to admit it's doable.

FWIW you can do unidirectional LLs just fine in safe Rust, and 2 way ones with Weak, and you can also create abstractions for parent-pointering that make it easier to do DLLs. There's a DLL (internally unsafe) in the stdlib.

The Rust community's point about LLs is that folks get *way* too worked up about the fact that DLLs are tricky to do in Rust, despite them being a relatively niche datastructure.

Do you have an opinion? I'm concerned about the amount of misleading uses of the word 'safe' and with the irrational fear of vectors. My hot take: Using a Rc<RefCell<T>> is not any more "safer" nor less prone to errors than using a Vector<Slot<T>>.
