I absolutely agree learning C is a good thing! In fact, there are two camps of Rust people: one that argue that you should not learn C before learning Rust, and one that argues that you should.

Also, while such data structures/algorithms are rare, and more importantly, they can be written once and used many times, someone still needs to write them!

Here is some online content on this side of Rust:

- Learn Rust With Entirely Too Many Linked Lists - https://rust-unofficial.github.io/too-many-lists/

- The Rustonomicon - https://doc.rust-lang.org/nomicon/

Thank you! I've seen the latter two mentioned in the past, but I never got very far into the books before getting confused with all the moving pieces. I think now that I've worked a lot in languages that put structs and pointers in the forefront, I'd understand it a lot better. Perhaps I'll have to go back and give them a proper read this time...
